Becoming active may add 14 extra “healthy years” to your life. “Most of what we think of as aging is not aging but disuse…Birth certificates aren’t issued with expiration dates.” - Walter Bortz, M.D. It’s Never too Late to Start, It’s Always too Soon to Quit.

The 4 S’s of an Active Lifestyle The Power of Superman & Superwoman (What makes us strong) 1. Steps 2. Stairs 3. Sitting Less 4. Some regular exercise Exercise = More focused physical activity intended to change the qualities of our physical fitness (stamina, strength, flexibility, balance). Our Kryptonite (What makes us weak) 1. Sedentary Time
17
Exercise: You Have a Menu of Options What Type(s)? Frequency – “How often?” Intensity – “How hard?” Time – “For how long?” Some exercise is always better than none. Ten minutes at a time is fine.

One Reason Why Sitting is the New Smoking The weight of mitochondria in our body approximates the weight of a car battery. Like a car that is not frequently started, sedentary behavior creates a “leakage” or release of harmful free radicals. We abuse our body’s “car battery” when we remain sedentary for long periods of time. Source: Prof Mike Murphy, MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit Cambridge University.

Tips for Cutting Down Sedentary Time Change what you can in your environment / culture: ☻ Yes, your favorite TV show is on and you won’t miss it, but can you give the chair a break during the commercials? ☻ Can you do some of your daily work standing? What about walking-and-talking (walking meetings)?
20
Tips for Cutting Down Sedentary Time Make cues work for you: ☻ Leave your walking shoes by the door as cue, so instead of heading straight for the La-Z-Boy after work the likelihood is greater that you will take the walk you have been planning. ☻ Join a Fitbit® challenge. This way you’re surrounding yourself with active-minded people and receiving constant feedback.
21
Tips for Cutting Down Sedentary Time Plan ahead for an active leisure or work time activity: ☻ At least every two hours schedule an alarm on your phone, so when you’re neck deep in that pile of paperwork you don’t forget to stand up, step out, and recharge. ☻ You’ll be more committed to activity if you plan it. Instead of falling back on the same routine or binging on watching television most of the weekend, make plans to go on an adventure next weekend. Get up, get out, and explore something or somewhere new.
22
1. People: Make your active pursuits social. 2. Place: Do most of your physical activity in places that you feel comfortable and safe, or pursue active pursuits in places that are majestic! 3. Purpose: Do you have a goal? Physical activity is a gateway to a better life. Maybe you want to be able to climb the pyramids, scuba dive in Hawaii, or be the first person in your family to finish a 3-mile (5K) walk / run. What is on your “Bucket List”? Tips to Stay Motivated: Does Your Physical Activity Have Personal Value?
23
Summary Most adults should exercise regularly beyond activities performed as part of daily living (e.g. aerobic, muscular resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercise). Exercise alone does not mitigate the health risks of sedentary time. Reduction in the time spent in sedentary activities in addition to regular exercise is important for health.
