No matter what your age, a lack of movement, sitting in a chair over 30 minutes can have the same affect on your body (equivalent) to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. If you have diabetes it can add to more body pain by not moving. COVID-19 has caused many to be locked in their homes and have felt lost as to where to go for reliable help in how they can overcome the fears around a lack of movement, as well as what movement we can do inside the home. Listen in as we explore with Colin what we can do and where we can go for reliable information on what we can do, whether we suffer from certain aliments, or not. If you are over 50 the risk will compound exponentially. Come learn how to reduce your risk and boost your mood too! We will also get inside information on how to begin our new routines.
