#7 – You’re Sitting Too Much (And It’s Ruining Your Body)

Mark Broadbent sits down with Wendy Welpton to break down why going to the gym isn’t enough to fix your body. They dive into how your daily movement habits—not your workouts—are the real driver of stiffness, pain, and long-term function. If you sit most of the day, this episode will change how you think about movement forever.KEY TAKEAWAYS:One hour in the gym can’t undo 23 hours of inactivityYour body adapts to how you move most—not how you train occasionallyMovement throughout the day matters more than intensity“Movement snacks” and habit stacking are game changersGround-based movement is one of the most missing elementsStiffness and pain often come from lack of variety, not lack of effortModern comfort (chairs, shoes, screens) is driving dysfunctionEvery movement counts—small changes compound over timeBEST MOMENTS:“One hour in the gym isn’t going to compensate for 23 hours not moving.” “Every movement counts.” “We are supposed to move, not stay in any position for a long period of time.” “Your body is constantly adapting to what you do most.” “If your baseline function isn’t good, you’re asking for trouble.” LINKS:Website: www.movebetter.club⁠Email: [email protected] Welpton:Instagram: @reclaim.movementWebsite: Reclaim MovementBook: Move Well For LifeABOUT THE HOSTS:Mark Broadbent is a health and movement coach with 20+ years in the fitness industry.
