Your Body Wasn't Built for This

Your ancestors walked twenty miles in a day without thinking twice about it. They squatted to rest, climbed trees for fruit, carried water from streams, and ground grain by hand. Their bodies were strong, flexible, and resilient-not because they "worked out," but because movement was woven into every moment of survival. Now? We celebrate hitting 10,000 steps while sitting for the other 23 hours. We've traded our biological birthright for electric can openers and drive-thrus, and our bodies are sending us the bill. Movement isn't optional. It's not something you do for thirty minutes at the gym before returning to your "real life" of sitting. It's the foundation of human existence-as essential as food, water, or sleep. Yet we've reduced it to a chore, a box to check, a New Year's resolution we abandon by February. What if everything we've been told about fitness is missing the point entirely? Think of movement like vitamins. You wouldn't eat a single multivitamin for breakfast and then consume nothing but candy for the rest of the day, expecting to be healthy. Yet that's exactly what we do with movement-we squeeze in our morning workout, then spend the next fifteen hours motionless, wondering why our backs hurt and our energy crashes. Every cell in your body requires mechanical input to function properly. When you sit for hours, even after your spin class, you're still starving those cells.
