Today’s book: Don’t Just Sit There by Katy Bowman—a movement-rich, eye-opening guide that shows how sedentary culture is wrecking our bodies—and how small, consistent changes can restore your health.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- Sitting isn’t the problem— stillness is. Your body needs constant, varied movement, not hours locked in one posture.
- Exercise isn’t enough. One workout a day won’t undo ten hours of sitting. You need more movement throughout the day.
- Change your environment. Swap your chair for a standing desk. Sit on the floor. Walk while you talk. Rewild your space.
- Stack your movement. Build natural movement into everyday life—housework, walking, squatting, playing with your kids.
- Little movements add up. Don’t underestimate the impact of frequent, low-intensity movement done consistently.
You’re built to move—not just at the gym, but all day long. What’s one way you’ll move more (and sit less) today?
