What research has demonstrated in the last few years is that people aren't either active or sedentary.

Trying to extract all of your movement needs from one or two hours of daily exercise

is like trying to get your dietary needs from a single daily meal crafted from the same handful of foods every day.

This approach just won't do. In light of this data, it's clear that
