And for some adults, they grew up in a sedentary households, so they have never experienced what a lifestyle full of movement looks like, and more importantly, what it feels like! If you are someone who relates to this, imagine having more energy and vigor for life, sleeping better, and feeling happier more often. Increasing your day-to-day movement can do all of these things.
