80% of Americans don’t get enough exercise.

With a more sedentary lifestyle, we know a few things can occur:

• Increased levels of depression & anxiety. Less active lifestyles are correlated to depression and anxiety.
• Less resilience to stress. People who live sedentarily are more stressed out.
• Lower testosterone levels. Testosterone is on a yearly decline as a result of sedentary lifestyles.
• Poor sleep. Less active lifestyles are correlated to poor sleep quality.

These are obviously things we want to avoid.
