Sitting less, moving more every day
A morning workout does not neutralize nine seated hours. Sedentary time is its own variable, and the fix is smaller and stranger than another gym session.
Movement
Walking counts. So do stairs, errands on foot and the minutes between long sits. What the weekly totals really mean, why the whole week matters more than one perfect workout, and how movement fits an ordinary schedule.

Walking for heart health
The guidance says 150 to 300 minutes of moderate activity a week, and walking is the cheapest way to collect them. Pace, shoes, routes and honest totals.
