A recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that 560–610 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise per week was linked with a greater than 30% reduction in cardiovascular risk — including heart attack and stroke.

Heart disease doesn't start with a heart attack. It starts years earlier — quietly — with the habits you build (or skip) in your 30s and 40s.

🚨 The Sitting Epidemic is real. Most of us think of “exercise” as the one workout we fit into the day — but what about the other 10+ hours we spend sitting?
