Born to Move, Told to Sit
Our future in the balance. We sit a lot – and there are a multitude of factors that keep us from moving: classrooms where kids sit for hours at a time, workplaces that keep people in front of computers, even groceries that are delivered to our homes. Meanwhile, we are inundated by a stream of fad exercises and news stories about the dangers of sitting. We’re told: “Move more, sit less!” And, we are left to feel that we’re failing ourselves and that we are to blame. The truth is that our society literally mandates us to sit. This session unpacks the “biological-cultural” mismatch we’re up against – and provides a path forward. |
