Are you moving enough? While many of us focus on weight loss goals, we're often missing a critical piece of the puzzle: our drastic decline in daily movement. In this episode, Holly and Jim reveal how physical activity has quietly disappeared from our lives over the past decades.

Did you know that in the 1960s, people burned 300-400 more calories daily without ever setting foot in a gym? Join Holly and Jim as they explore America's "physical activity report card" and share startling statistics about how technology and modern lifestyles have engineered movement out of our daily routines. You'll discover practical strategies to reclaim physical activity in a world designed for sitting.

Discussed on the episode:

  • How work and transportation-related movement has drastically declined since the 1960s
  • Why meeting the recommended 150-300 minutes of weekly activity is harder than you think
  • The three critical buckets of physical activity you need to consider
  • Why strength training is the most overlooked form of exercise (with a surprising home "gym" equipment everyone owns)
  • Personal challenges Jim and Holly face with staying active
  • Why high-energy living (more calories in AND out) is easier to maintain than low-energy living
