You can change the trajectory of your life by doing every hour on the hour. >> According to the World Health
00:00:09
Organization, we're getting increasingly more sedentary. We're moving less and
00:00:13
less in part because of technology, but also there was this really interesting study done by the Cleveland Clinic. They
00:00:19
talk about people who are active sedentary. And this this felt a little bit personal if I'm
00:00:25
honest. It says a major finding in 2025 found a danger of being active sedentary, which is people who exercise
00:00:33
for like 30 to 60 minutes but sit for the remaining 10 hours a day. If you sit for more than 10 hours a day, your risk
00:00:39
of cardiovascular disease increases even if you meet weekly exercise goals because prolonged sitting shuts down
00:00:46
lipoprotein lipes, an enzyme essential for burning fat and cleaning glucose from the blood. That's annoying to read
00:00:53
because I feel like that's me. Unfortunately, this is the life we're living in. We are becoming more
00:00:57
sedentary in our day-to-day lives. We're sitting more. We're not going out as
00:01:01
much. There's younger kids uh on video games. They're scrolling. They're
00:01:05
increasing our risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease. We're not getting our 10,000 steps per day,
00:01:13
increasing our risk of all of these diseases. But how can we tackle that? Well, we can tackle that with what we
00:01:19
call exercise snacks. And there was this study that was done that showed that just doing 10 air squats every hour on
00:01:26
the hour >> like this. >> There you go. 10 of those. If you do 10 of those, you can outweigh the benefits
00:01:34
of a 30inut power walk >> every hour. >> Yeah. >> For how many hours?
00:01:39
>> Eight. This is primarily because when you eat, you get a massive spike of
00:01:44
glucose. And the best way to bring that glucose spike back down is by doing any form of exercise. Go out and go for a
00:01:51
fast run. Do an air squat.
