Spring is a great time to make a decision to eat healthy or exercise more. So far so good, but making those wishes come true turns out to be the real hard part.
That’s why VOGUE turned to model and trainer Roger Frampton, whose TEDx Talk, titled “Why sitting destroys you” is no coincidence that it already has over four million views on YouTube.
He shares that in our body there are more than 300 joints and over 800 muscles that need continuous movement. That is why the classic “sitting” position for almost every average adult, in which he spends his day and evenings, is harmful to the body.
The expert advises to stay upright in public transport while moving, to meet a friend not in a cafe, but in a park while walking, and Friday night to be spent standing at the bar, not sitting in a comfortable chair.
Here are more of Roger Framton’s lazy girl fitness ideas:
Squat like a three year old
Do you think that when little kids squat, they’re actually exercising instinctively? The truth is that the squatting position and squats are fundamental for the good shape of the joints, but also for the digestive tract, thus stimulating peristalsis. So whenever you can do squats. Even if you are in the office wearing heels, you can also try – this way you will have better support, and if you are not comfortable just take off your shoes.

Discover outdoor fitness
By the age of 75, two-thirds of us will suffer from illnesses that will require daily medication to continue our lives, according to experts. However, most of these diseases could be prevented or delayed with more healthy movement. There are enough parks and outdoor gyms in our city that would really help us get moving, and if you don’t mind machines just take a long and invigorating walk in the park.
