Individuals Can Be Both Physically Active and Highly Sedentary
Share
We’ve all heard the advice: get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week to stay healthy. These physical activity (PA) guidelines are promoted around the world to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and early mortality. But growing research suggests that hitting your exercise goals might not be enough if you spend most of your day sitting.
This is where the distinction between physical inactivity and sedentary behavior (SB) becomes important. Physical inactivity means not getting enough exercise. Sedentary behavior, on the other hand, refers to any waking activity done while sitting or reclining, with minimal energy output—like working at a desk or watching TV. It’s entirely possible to be both physically active and highly sedentary.
Studies show that extended sitting can negatively affect metabolism, circulation, and overall health—even in people who work out regularly. That’s why Sitflexx was designed to keep your body gently moving while you sit. With subtle, natural leg motion, Sitflexx helps reduce sedentary time, improve circulation, and support long-term metabolic health—without interrupting your day. #Sitflexx #StayActive #Sedentary #Circulation #Metabolism #GlucoseBalance
