Dropped by my son’s elementary school at lunch today. What a mad house! Kids were clinging and hanging from playground structures like little monkeys, running around, screaming, playing games… Typical lunch at an elementary school..
Adult version of lunch is very different. Less running, less playing, more eating, more seating…
In fact, most of us seat for a living. No wonder that there are so many unhealthy, weak people. Unhealthy people who are overweight, have poor posture and alignment, suffer from compensatory movement that leads to muscle strain and more discomfort and pain…
Solution?
- Mandatory kettlebell training during work hours
- Walks instead of stuffy conference room meetings (I always think better when walking)
- Naps
Companies would end up with happier, more productive, healthier workers who do more and miss work less…
Who is with me?
I agree. Sedentary is defined at 6+ hours seated with little to no activity (AKA most modern jobs). People would be more productive if they walked more, drove less and trained with kettlebells. In addition, I can stand anywhere with foot traffic and observe about half of the people I see with postural deviation and or protruding stomachs. Wake up and train with kettlebells!
