Your New Year's Resolution to live healthier may be more achievable than you think. Enter the “movement movement,” a way of framing fitness not by how much we exercise, but instead by how little we move.
Over the course of human history, we’ve never been as sedentary as we are right now. And scientists say it could be killing us. Sitting more than eight hours a day without any added physical activity puts your risk of death at levels similar to obesity and smoking.
Quartz News traveled to upstate Washington to meet Katy Bowman, who argues that everything from the way you put away your dishes to how you choose to sit can help you stack more movement into your life.

Now I understand how my wife, 65, has kept her shape. She is OCD. She can't sit long, e.g., can't stand movies (too long sitting). She watches TV standing and moving in & out of the kitchen, or over to the dining table where she is on her iPhone, standing. Her constant movement is keeping her shapely and fit. I am overweight, sitting for hours at the computer or TV, and walking for 25 minutes or an hour once a day doesn't help. I find shopping or going to the movies that requires a 5 minute walk to & from helps, but is not enough. I need more movement.

@mysticalmidnightmask 4 года назад

There are ways to move and do things that can increase productivity and work efficiency, rather than maintaining being sedentary. In the long run it's more cost effective for humans to have less chronic illnesses for society and companies alike. Unfortunately, society isn't patient enough for long term efficiacy. You have the unpleasantness of delayed gratification to blame for that.

@jonaspereira007 4 года назад

I would say we need both. Physical exercise with some intensity may be good to create muscle and protect bones for instance. Small, light movements won't do it. That doesn't mean we need to be exhausted after exercise or train like an olympian. But to just walk or do light movements is not ideal. Talking from experience here, I'm no doctor or scientist.

@mysticalmidnightmask 4 года назад

I found a study that says “The use of stability balls as a chair may actually increase the risk of developing low back discomfort and may increase the risk of sustaining an injury due to the unstable nature of the balls.” hmm 2:05

@mysticalmidnightmask 4 года назад

If you replace a chair with a ball long term, you're probably going to develop some kind of repetitive strain injury. The key isn't to do too much of one thing, it's to vary movement. You also don't need to be constantly moving either - that places a great deal of stress on your body. Think athletes and their injuries.

@shovelcharge 3 года назад

You may find this hard to believe, but Katy Bowman has written against using stability balls regularly. You can google it. I’m 98% certain she has written about this.

"I don't think many of us will get rid of our couches anytime soon. But it's not about turning your life upside down. It's about having an open mind" (to small changes) was the journalist's conclusion. But, sorry, you will not incur the health benefits of a hunter gatherer (movement based) lifestyle simply by standing up for phone calls or taking the stairs. The real question is: Why do we work for things that don't make us happy, for a number of hours greater than hunter gatherer cultures do, in a way (sedentarily) that makes us unhealthy? In other words, the whole lifestyle we currently experience in the modern world is faced with solving problems that don't exist in traditional societies. And the benefits we gain from this modern lifestyle are... well, let's just remind ourselves of the Ladakh, the Hadza, and the San, who are, by all accounts, happier populations than those in industrialized countries. So, why use stacking? I love Katy Bowman and her research; but the whole modern lifestyle, with its pollution and evolutionary mismatch and oppression and anomie, is really inferior to a more traditional lifestyle, where things are done at the human level.

Your body loves to breathe stretch and move. It loves to eat and sleep and move. Brush the skin, let it breathe, skip, stretch, jump, do mat exercise, dance on the spot, swing, be mobile, handstands, learn the 34 pilates movements that exercise the body mind connection and gives your bones and muscles and tissues a workout. Breathe through the nose, and love life. Try consciously Sstting on a chair infront of a computer and notice how your breathing slows. Research shows that so does digestion. That's why I love my fitball. Be seated for comfort and relaxation and be conscious of how long you spend on your phone and computer. Stretch every 20 mins helps refocus the mind and energies. Good luck.

@mattyjackson7581 4 года назад

@nottheone582 4 года назад

This style discounts the incredible stimulus that sustained and intense resistance training can have esp for women. We need intense and heavy work to strengthen our muscles, bones, insulin sensitivity, and for fat loss. This type of light cardio is not as valuable, and it's been sold widely to women as preferable which doesnt do them any favours. We need physical stress to create change in our physiology. Light walking and movement doesn't provide this stress. I guess it's better than nothing if you're completely sedentary, but to say do this INSTEAD of exercising is irresponsible and quite frankly, bad and unscientific advice.

@M4RTZ1 4 года назад

I find the claims by Bowman that the focus on everyday movement patterns has been overlooked quite absurd. This sort of smaller, more frequent movement is literally what general practitioners have been recommending people for years. I see nothing new in this trend, save for the fact that Bowmans methods are just more extreme and thus harder to implement for the average person, thus making it a less effective way of integrating the thought of more frequent movement in the lives of the broader population.

@mysticalmidnightmask 4 года назад

Totally, the key is variation in movements which is more protective of joints rather than bulking up with repetitive movements which can cause injury. The advice to move is largely directed at those who have highly sedentary lifestyles. Recommending that to someone who moves for a living (ie. Farming, trades, movers, mail carriers) doesn't make sense. They're at more risk of injury because of wear and tear to the body from repetitive movements and something like automation that promotes less movement might actually be more helpful to them.

@thepinata9656 4 года назад

I think it's myopic to state that Hunter/Gatherers can be a model for public health because they don't get heart disease and they don't get diabetes. They also have an average life expectancy of 59 years old. You can substantially curb chronic disease everywhere if people die before they can develop it.

@JustDinosaurBones 3 года назад

Hunter gatherer life expectancies are skewed by high infant/child mortalities. Yes, this is a tragic thing, but for those who do survive they can generally expect to live a long, full life into their 70s; and, importantly, they can expect to be healthier, fitter, and happier during those years than your average industrialized office worker would.

@Troph2 4 года назад

Oh yeah, hunter-gatherer lifestyle is just so amazing.... Researchers Gurven and Kaplan have estimated that around 57% of hunter-gatherers reach the age of 15. Of those that reach 15 years of age, 64% continue to live to or past the age of 45. This places the life expectancy between 21 and 37 years. Compared to US life expectancy of 74

@eligirl100 4 года назад

Troph2 Yes but they died from infectious diseases and attacks from predators which we don’t have to deal with anymore (for the most part). They were fit enough to hunt for their own food despite their short lifespans. Today most people die from chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases which are largely due to us becoming a more sedentary society.

@M4RTZ1 4 года назад

They're not advocating a full-on regression to hunter-gatherer stages. They're just saying that we can learn from their practices, as they live more in the way that our bodies biological evolution is geared towards, compared to the modern individual. Merging the modern-day medical and societal advantages (that you seem to forget is a huge cause for higher life expectancy) with the older thoughts about keeping our bodies moving might solve some lifestyle problems... atleast that's the point I get from the video.
