"I'm healthy, I just don't exercise." Lie

There is a phrase I hear a lot.

"I'm healthy, I just don't exercise."

Good blood work. No pills. You don't have any pain.

And yet, it has to be thrown in the trash.

There is no such thing as a healthy sedentary person.

Moving isn't a bonus for feeling better. It's the bare minimum for being okay. Like eating. Like sleeping.

Nobody says, "I eat when I have time." But with moving, we do say that.

A study published in The Lancet estimated that physical inactivity was behind some 5.3 million deaths in one year. About 9% of the world's premature deaths, a figure comparable to that of tobacco.

The nuance: it is an estimate based on observational data, not a clinical trial.

I tell you about it in this week's SuperFuertes video.

Below I have left a test for you to know if you are a "healthy sedentary person" and a calculator to see if you meet the weekly minimum. It takes a minute.
