19. How and why we adopted healthier lifestyles

This was such a fun episode for us! This week, Marcus and I sit back and chat about how we used to each growing up, what that looked like in college, and how we started transitioning over to a healthier lifestyle. We provide tips for those who are looking to start out, and we discuss our own challenges/how we overcome them. This is a great episode for anyone new to adopting a healthier lifestyle, or even those who haven't yet started because they don't know where to begin.

One article discussed in this episode is a 2016 Lancet meta analysis Does physical activity attenuate, or even eliminate, the detrimental association of sitting time with mortality? A harmonised meta-analysis of data from more than 1 million men and women - we mentioned how much physical activity is needed to overcome a sedentary day (desk job!) and I mentioned 2 hours. Data from this article shows that it is actually 60-75 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity every day to overcome the negative effects of a day of sedentary time.
