ten body weight squats every 45 minutes over your working day. Thanks!

Every time I go back to the hospital for a six month check up, I will purposely take the stairs from the main floor to the eighth floor and back down. Because when I was admitted in 2016 I couldn’t even do a half a floor.
Just because I can.

I have 40 lb. Dumbbells in my classroom. Every day I walk circles doing farmers carries, do a set of deadlifts and a set of goblet squats.

"Being sedentary is a disease" I love to hear someone say this out loud

I’ll be eighty one in a few days. I do at least thirty minutes of vigorous exercise everyday and do thirty reps of different exercises like squats, curls, etc three times a week. According to my Garmin watch I have a fitness age of fifty nine. We’ll see what it says when I turn eighty one. God bless 🙏🏻

"Nobody takes the stairs..." I'm also one of those people who notices that at airports, & I ALWAYS take the stairs. And at 78, my health is fabulous!!!

Just got through cutting the front and back yards. Finished with weed eater.
My exercise for the day, possibly two. 63 year old man.

I did that years ago, running up the stairs instead of taking elevator. Simple things that you integrate in your day and make a huge difference.

This is like greasing the groove and i do train like this 90% of the time.

Going to the kitchen, do 5 push ups and a single chin up.

Entering new level in a Video game, do ten kettlebell thrusters.

Doing dishes or taking out the trashcan, do 10 lateral raises.

Do 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes... - that's the gist.

Interesting. I have been in and out of Cancer for the past 5 years. I have noticed the effect of engaging in bursts. It feels like it is keeping me in the game.

At work watching this and went upstairs to do 10 bench presses and came back down to my desk. I think this is going to work out ;)

It’d be good to factor this into schools during the day.

I’m very undisciplined and don’t like planned exercise but I do like to dance. I try to dance to a couple of my favorite songs every day. Usually 8-12 minutes, ish. Better than nothing. I’m 80.

What the study actually found: "The study found that short, frequent breaks—whether walking or squatting—are more effective for blood sugar control than a single, longer session of activity (like a 30-minute walk), even when the total time spent being active is the same. While squatting breaks had a slightly greater impact on glucose metabolism compared to walking, the difference wasn’t significant."

It's sad when we get to point that "movement" is now a special kind of "exercise".

@user936 4 months ago (edited)

Took a shot every time a study got mentioned.

I've lost 3 days.

my god!!! 8 minutes without reasonable captions or inserts showing the most important thing, just to hear this - do 10 body weight squats every 45 minutes - I just saved you 8 minutes of life. I really hope the channel will have more respect to the viewers to do some normal captions or inserts to high light the most important stuff!
