We sit more and more and move less and less. These 50 reasons will motivate you to work out now!
People are less active today, in part because technology has made our lives easier. We drive cars or take public transport. The machines wash our clothes. We have fun in front of a screen. Few do manual labor and most of us have jobs that require minimal physical effort. Work, housework, shopping and other necessary activities are less demanding now.

How much exercise do you need?
Even if you have never exercised, it is never too late! You can start with a slow pace, with a gentle 10 minute exercise. A brisk walk every day is a good first exercise.
A good goal is to exercise 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time. However, the secret is to start gradually, if you are a beginner. Start with exercise 2 or 3 times a week for 20 minutes each time. Once you feel comfortable, increase the time and days you exercise.
