With the growing incidence of our sedentary lifestyle and ‘sitting disease’, rates of cardiovascular disease and heart attacks are also increasing. There are guidelines for physical activity that advocate for moving your body most days of the week, with endurance, balance and strength exercises, with a focus on less sitting throughout the day.
