Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 The most popular day to exercise is tomorrow, because it is tedious and unpleasant. It can be difficult to feel motivated when surrounded by an environment that encourages you to be sedentary.

#2 The terms movement, physical activity, fitness, exercise, and training are often used interchangeably, but there are differences. Movement is the act or process of moving, while physical activity is any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscle that results in energy expenditure beyond that of the body at rest.

#3 There is clear evidence that physical inactivity is associated with a heightened risk of severe illness and premature death. The majority of us globally fail to meet the recommended levels of physical activity for health and well-being not only for adults but children too.

#4 A study of 54,000 people reported that physical inactivity increased the risk of early death. It was more significant than the dangers of obesity, smoking, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease combined.
