There are not many things in life that some exercise canβt help improve!
And even if you feel that exercise is not helping the issue⦠it is!
Go do some⦠any⦠just move!
4k @thecsp physiotherapists are striking today. They were there during Covid drafted onto ICU wards to prone patients. They ensure people recover faster and get back to their life sooner. They keep patients out of hospital. People like me don't write nearly enough about them.
If Twitter dies, please remember:
1. Running isnβt bad for your knees
2. The best exercise = the one that gets done
3. Have fun
4. 45 min/day moderate intensity activity
5. Your easy runs can probably be easier
6. Lift something heavy
7. Emphasis on 3 & 4

Physical inactivity kills more people annually than sharks, snakes and smoking. Current guidelines suggest 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week. Just get up and move! #bewareofthechair#exercise#motionislotion#move#stretch#longevity
