What a line. "Can you limit your sitting and sleeping to less than 23 1/2 hours a day" Amazing to think that this is true for most people

@raesjourney1160 9 лет назад

I like the way you said 23 and a half hours of sitting. Instead of walk 30 minutes a day, makes that 1 hour walk seem like a breeze

@kgoodlad1314 10 лет назад

Sitting is the NEW Smoking .... I like it!

For those who dont understand the Orange is the New Black reference here- in episode 7 of the new Netflix blockbuster series- 23 and 1/2 hours is featured. I wont be a spoiler... but it is way cool. Chapman is the lead protagonist (and a fan of our wee movie)....

@EmilieDardenne 9 лет назад

Oh my goodness. This really frightened me. I spend hours in front of my laptop. I always mean to go walking and I am never motivated to go. I am overweight. I have hypertension and high cholesterol both kept in check with medication. OK I am inspired now. I want to be around for many more years.

@daftquo420 10 лет назад

This video has changed my life. Today is my 38th day in a row of exercising at least 30 minutes a day, which is about 37 more than I ever did before. I feel much more energetic and my other health issues have seen a noticeable improvement. Thank you so much Doctor Evans.

@earthcrystal19 11 лет назад

Dr. Evans, I need to say thank you...I watched this for the first time last February and it CHANGED MY LIFE. A sedentary 55 yr old woman, borderline obese, just diagnosed with diabetes, even though I'd quit smoking, I was not a healthy person. But since I said "yes" to the question posed @ the end of the video, everything has improved. I walk between 2-5 miles 5 days a week, have lost 30 lbs, done 2 5ks and a 10k, and all of my health stats have improved. I can't thank you enough...

@mbrown1219 12 лет назад

This is very affirming. My husband and I started walking about 15 years ago. We walk almost every day for 30 minutes to an hour. We live in Minnesota, so some people think we are a little nuts, but we find walking in the winter very invigorating and use Get a Grip's to prevent falls. If we dress properly we are never cold. I am now 56 and my husband is 61. We are on no medications. If we need medical treatment we first try less invasive alternative medicine. Great video!

Thanks Mike..Trouble is , we dont live in jungles anymore ...forget the couch and TV ...many of our jobs promote sedentary lifestyle...we just have to take an hour out everyday and walk, swim, bike and run. I am 62 and I swim every summer in our community pool ..Thanks Mike

@liannarevilla9505 8 лет назад

This video was a real eye-opener and a motivator for me to exercise more.

@ugottafriend4life 12 лет назад

Outstanding! As an artist, I can definitely appreciate the work that went into this. I'll be sharing with my class!

@MatthewBallestero 12 лет назад

This video makes me want to do 2 things: 1) Walk or run 30 minutes a day and... 2) Find a white board to write and draw on! So cool :)

@jockdoc2007 11 лет назад

This is the single best presentation on "Exercise as Medicine" I have ever seen in my 30 years in the field and even compared to hour or 2 hours presentations. Bravo on getting the message across so plainly and clearly! ACE Ex. Physiologist

@DerekMahar 9 лет назад

I'm highly impressed with the message and production quality!

@13tmj 11 лет назад

absolutely inspiring. thank you. I loved all the references back to the studies done. I loved the way it has been presented with the sketches and the white board. this needs to be shown to as many people as possible. I am going to make it my priority to be active 30 mins a day. I will sit down and make a plan to make this happen, better than any pill and it is free. thank you again.

@solverp 11 лет назад

Genius. Simple yet profound - the facts speak for themselves. Thanks Dr. Evans!

@DoanYuSi 12 лет назад

@kymo1966 11 лет назад

My doctor put me onto this video. Makes soooo much sense. Will put these suggestions into practice and I'm positive my health will be better. Thanks Dr Evans, you're a legend.

@RamonaMcKean 10 лет назад

@buscandovideo 12 лет назад

Beautifully done Dr. Evans. You are successful in motivating, not by being exhortative and pushy, but by being factual and respectful.

@thambi05 12 лет назад

Dr. Evans a BIG thank you for that simple yet powerful presentation. Free of jargons and full of common sense! Clearly you care about the health and well being of fellow human beings. God Bless you!

@edes1969 12 лет назад

Wonderfully presented! I currently live in Okinawa, Japan, and I exercise regularly and eat well. The diet here is fantastic, and people of all ages walk and jog here every night- I have never seen anything like it! It's so refreshing to hear this information from a Western medical professional. As a culture, we owe it to ourselves to reduce and reverse disease and disorders we have acquired through bad habit, so we can focus on treating those that cannot be reversed and must be "cured."

@claireobryan9070 12 лет назад

Excellent video! All healthcare providers should see this - we are asked every day "What can I do for my health", and this is clearly the simplest answer, but is so difficult to convey to patients. Thanks for summing it up at a level that EVERYONE can understand!

@captquest1 12 лет назад

That was excellent. My daughter and I have been working out several months now, and along with changing how we eat it's made a great difference. I can't imagine going back to our careless ways.

@Tricia46431 12 лет назад

I walk an hour most days listening to my Ipod so delighted to know it has so many benefits:)

@bonniebaby2 11 лет назад

Wow. I'm 12 years old and this video inspired me so much to become more healthy and to get more active for my own sake. I understood this video even though there where a few big words but the drawings really helped. I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start a new fresh. More exercise from joe on and less tv! Thank you so much:)

@bondagelover7600 11 лет назад

I know a lot of people make this complicated,and I appreciate your making health a relatively simple concept... and it is, just getting up and working out on a regular basis and eating properly. It's not complicated. Thank you for sharing your video, which breaks it down for us.

@domtrujillo2735 9 лет назад

This changed my perspective on things and how beneficial moving really is.

@ChrisVarga 11 лет назад

I have always felt there is great value in regular exercise. I have been very physically active all my life. But, I expected your message to be that stress reduction was the key! I have been practising meditation for little over a year now and have been amazed at how much it has improved my sense of well being and my quality of life. I believe that with out resolving ones stress, many will have difficulty sustaining healthy habits Having a peaceful life is key. We are here for a good time...

@makerseekermom 8 лет назад

@willbur1981 12 лет назад

Great talk. As a family medicine resident I find the hardest part about getting patients to exercise is showing them why it's so important. Motivation is key, and sorely lacking. I live in a cold part of the world, but 30 minutes a day should be achievable by anyone, any time.

@cemarjer 11 лет назад

I saw this video about a year ago and it totally stuck with me. I made my own video on health using the same program (or similar one) being inspired by your effective use of communication. And now your video is one of the links that pops up after mine :) I am so honoured, thanks for the inspiration!

@wirosableng6224 10 лет назад

Walking is the best exercise... no doubt about it

@pasadenagym 10 лет назад

what a fascinating video! I love the doodle video it was entertaining and kept me watching! although I am a huge fan of nutrition being the key to a healthy lifestyle, I also agree that exercise is equally key :)

@blackhawkgirl2010 12 лет назад

@Redesignresearch 12 лет назад

Mike - Even though I try to keep up with HDL, my wife found this, not me, and I was delighted to find it! (She does these kinds of sketches herself and loved this one). A million and a half views later, wow! A great way to share the message and how fantastic the impact.

@Dongsa 12 лет назад

Incredible. What ever happened to simplicity? I don't think anyone has ever been able to communicate this message so clearly in the modern day and age. You sir are an inspiration. That video breaks all sorts of boundaries and even shuts up the ever so persuasive "Gym freak", if you know what I mean. The ones that constantly tell you that anything under 30mins, and isn't HIGH intensity is useless. I thank you for this video. This is something I will watch repeatedly to better my life. Cheers!

What a fantastic concept, and what a fantastic video! I am a recently diagnosed type ll Diabetic. I have also learned recently of the Exercise "medicine" and have started putting it in to practice using a recumbent bike, because of joint pain. I can certainly vouch for the fact that you are telling it 'like it is' - More power to you Doctor, and anyone watching this must surely be ,motivated.

@gabriellebuskulic8003 8 лет назад

I found this video very helpful, in the sense that I can use a thirty minute per day exercise regimen to combat any illnesses that I have now. It is also a good way to prevent early death. I have a dog, whom I walk every day in the cooler months of South Texas, but when it is hot, like it is now, I slack. But there are many solutions, some of which are mentioned in this wonderful video. I personally park in a farther parking spot most times so I can get some extra walking in their. Thank you for posting.

@thepoliticalcat 12 лет назад

Simply brilliant, Doctor. As a person who resists exercise beyond the carrying of heavy books, I believe you've found the key to overcoming such resistance. You're not *telling* me to exercise, you're offering me a challenge to solve. I believe I *can* limit my sedentary behaviour to 23.5 hrs per day.

@AQGOAT24 9 лет назад

How do you differentiate between watching too much tv and not exercising. Seems to me the problem isn't necessarily watching TV but it is that you don't exercise. What if someone followed the exercise plan and still watched a lot of TV, is there a difference there?

@Umbrellaha 9 лет назад

The single best video on RU-vid, this video must be shared amongst all family and friends regularly and shown in all schools. I have not seen a video that puts it message across as well as this one, it does it in a low key non-aggressive manner but demands to be taken seriously with the thought that has gone into the presentation style and content. Just amazing.
