Maybe you’ve heard or maybe you haven’t… but the rate of obesity & sedentariness is still continuing to climb in the US.
Let’s take a peak at some of the numbers here.
Per the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/sgr/adults.htm#:~:text=Approximately%2025%20percent%20of%20U.S.,Women%20than%20men.
More than 60% of adults in the US are not engaging in the recommended amount of physical activity per week. Read that again; MORE THAN 60%. That’s an astronomical number.
Then we also have 25% of adults that are not even active AT ALL.
This is just from an activity and sedentariness stand point. Let’s take a peak at obesity within the US.
Per the CDC again:
As of this year in 2023; obesity impacts 100.1 million American Adults. That’s 41.9% of Adults in the US and this stat has been doing nothing but trending up in recent years. Children are no exception either as 14.7 million (19.7%) children are affected by obesity.
I wanted to highlight this because it underscores the importance behind a healthy routine and staying active.
What is the recommended physical activity level per week?
There are 10080 minutes a week and all you need to set aside is 150 minutes. The Strength training can easily be incorporated into the cardio with the proper work to rest ratio.
Let’s see now….a little math here annnnd that’s 1.49% of your time throughout the week that should be dedicated towards getting active.
Yet again, more than 60% of adults aren’t hitting this mark.
A training example to help you hit this goal.
- Total Body Lift (2 Days/Week)
- 10 Minute Cardio of Choice for Warm Up
- 3×10 Squat
- 3×10 Hinge
- 3×10 Push
- 3×10 Pull
- 3×20-30 Core
- Cardio, Core, & Mobility (3 Days/Week)
- Choice Cardio 45 Minutes
- Mobility Circuit x2
- Hip mobility
- T-Spine mobility
- Shoulder Mobility
- Ankle Mobility
- Core
Just by following a routine based on this template that I’ve provided, you’ll be more active than 60% (technically over 60%) of Americans.
