Have you ever wondered if hitting the gym is enough to offset hours of sitting at your desk?
In this episode of Extend, I take a closer look at the silent yet dangerous effects of sedentary behavior—and why it could be one of the most overlooked threats to your long-term health.
From the link between prolonged sitting and chronic diseases like heart disease and Alzheimer’s to the surprising impact it has on your metabolic health, I’m breaking down the science behind why movement throughout the day matters more than you think.

If you’re ready to level up your health by eliminating sedentary habits, this episode is full of actionable tips you can implement today.
