Can a five-minute walk change how you feel all day? Exercise scientist Keith Diaz shows how your body is built for the kind of movement that modern life has quietly erased — and suggests something refreshingly doable: making time for small doses of movement sprinkled throughout the day, as a way to boost your brain…

    @MelLivesLife I recently found this girl she is such inspiration for shovelling movement into every hour of the day. It’s inspiring.

    Sedentary “era”, or did you wordsmith, sedentary “error”?
    It’s both.
    I wonder which is more responsible for it, the workplace or the television?

    This powerful short makes it plain how millions and millions of people can get off certain medications naturally and relatively easily with just 5 minutes of regular movement (even short walks) breaks every 1/2 hour. Even a one minute walk is better than nothing. The average person he says, only takes 4 to 5 movement breaks a day.

    I work at a factory. I’m on my feet moving around 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I’m still exhausted all the time. I don’t know if I want any more exercise than I already get, honestly.

    Sitting in some yogic poses can be beneficial. Ancient yogis used to sit long hours without moving. Someone should research this instead of asking people with desk jobs to keep moving

      Excellent point. Sitting cross-legged on the floor or chair, upright and not leaning back sounds like a workout on its own. But with training the muscles don’t need to hold any tension as the skeletal system alone supports the pose, no wonder hours can go by!

    If you sit all day for work, then you should def be in the gym 3 to 4 days a week. Back extensions and jogging are the best workout for sitters

Life, like music, was never made to run in straight lines #TEDTalks

Grammy-winning musician Jacob Collier has a name for the feeling that moves through a great piece of music: the wiggle. Watch him break down the idea into its three parts — melody, rhythm and harmony — with nothing but his own voice, a grand piano and Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” Turns out life,…
