Don't let this weather wreak havoc on your Work Out...You can still Work IT!

“There’s no running away from it: The more you sit, the poorer your health and the earlier you may die, no matter how fit you are.”“Your body is designed to move"

“Sitting for an extended period of time causes your body to shut down at the metabolic level.” When your muscles, especially certain leg muscles, are immobile, your circulation slows. So you use less of your blood sugar and you burn less fat, which increases your risk of heart disease and diabetes"
