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 less in part because of technology, but
00:00:15
also there was this really interesting study done by the Cleveland Clinic. They talk about people who are active
00:00:21
sedentary. And this This felt a little bit personal, if I'm honest. It says a major finding in 2025
00:00:28
found a danger of being active sedentary, which is people who exercise for like 30 to 60 minutes, but sit for
00:00:35
the remaining 10 hours a day. If you sit for more than 10 hours a day, your risk of cardiovascular disease
00:00:40
increases even if you meet weekly exercise goals because prolonged sitting shuts down lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme
00:00:49
essential for burning fat and cleaning glucose from the blood. That's annoying to read because I feel like that's me.

>> Unfortunately, this is the life we're living in. We're becoming more sedentary
00:00:58
in our day-to-day lives. We're sitting more. We're not going out as much. There is younger kids on video games. They're
00:01:04
scrolling. They're increasing our risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease. We're not getting our 10,000
00:01:11
steps per day. Increasing our risk of all of these diseases, but how can we tackle that?
00:01:17
Well, we can tackle that with what we call exercise snacks. And there was this study that was done that showed that
00:01:23
just doing 10 air squats every hour on the hour. >> Like this. >> There you go. 10 of those. If you do 10
00:01:30
of those, you can outweigh the benefits of a 30-minute power walk. >> Every hour?
00:01:37
>> Yeah. >> For how many hours? >> 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, go for a fast
00:01:51
run, do an air squat, bring that glucose level back to baseline.
