Fewer than ⅓ of U.S. adults meet the weekly guideline of 150 minutes of moderate exercise.
Approximately 25% of adults sit for over 8 hours each day.
Average daily sitting time has climbed steadily—from 5.5 h in 2007 to 6.4 h in 2016, and now in 2025 at 9.5 h/day.
One of the most simple, most profound tools we have for wellbeing, free of charge, is physical activity. Movement. Exercise.
We all know this. But— despite the fitness industry being at it’s largest (and rates of mental health disorder at their highest)— us Americans are at our most sedentary in history.
In this epi I explore the nature of human biology, the origins of exercise, exercise culture in the U.S., entertain ideas as to why we are so inactive, and end with a assertion to inspire us to MAKE EXERCISE FUN AGAIN.
It was fun riffing this one out, hope you enjoy, and as always… play on players.
