2-14-13: In prepping for a presentation, was just getting some of the latest data for just how sedentary Americans are. Here are some stats:
26% of Americans get NO physical activity or exercise! (Source: America's Health Rankings 2012)
53% do not meet the minimum federal recommendations for cardiovascular activity
76% do not meet the minimum fed recommendations for strength training
79.6% do not meet BOTH recommendations! (Source: CDC 2010 Fast Stats)
Thx to technology (which I love), and our lifestyle, hypokinetic disease is literally killing us. Are you a part of these percentages? I hope not! If you are, then do something about it! Contact me if you need help getting started.
According to a series on PA published in Lancet 2012, physical inactivity is the 4th leading cause of death worldwide. This blog is dedicated to eradicating HYPOKINETIC DISEASE. We are missing out on the most powerful "pill" to improve the health and quality of life for all Americans!
