Sitting too much is not good for you!

Sitting All Day: Worse For You Than You Might Think
Yes, exercise is good for you. This we know. Heaps of evidence point to the countless benefits of regular physical activity. Federal health officials recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, like brisk walking, every day.
Studies show that when you adhere to an exercise regimen, you can improve your cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure and improve metabolism and levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. You can reduce diabetes risk and the risk of certain cancers. And, finally, exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, which can boost all of these benefits even more.
But now, researchers are beginning to suspect that even if you engage in regular exercise daily, it may not be enough to counteract the effects of too much sitting during the rest of the day.
Handstand Fun at CrossFit
0
You know you are addicted to CrossFit when you are stuck in traffic on the way home from work in the evening and you get excited about heading to the following day’s WOD. I just really love the challenge it brings to me everyday. Most of us go through our lives doing the same routine. I can be sure that every morning when I show up to CrossFit, I am guaranteed to be challenged mentally and physically. Chances are the more I do it, I will see progress and have breakthroughs! How can anyone not want to have that experience regularly?
