In this episode of the Chasing Common Ground podcast, I dive deep into the alarming decline of physical activity levels across North America since the mid-2000s. With the rise of screen time, remote work, and urbanization, many of us have found ourselves leading increasingly sedentary lifestyles, contributing to a surge in health issues like heart disease, depression, and diabetes.
I discuss the importance of placing urgency on physical activity and offer practical solutions for integrating movement into daily life, regardless of economic or geographic limitations. Whether it's as simple as walking 7,000 steps a day, joining a community group, or getting creative with at-home exercises, the time to act is now—before it's too late.
Tune in to hear my insights on how to overcome barriers to fitness, the benefits of walking, the impact of nutrition on health, and the role of strength training in maintaining physical and mental well-being.
