Humans Spend Less than 1% of their Lives Working Out

Well, to give you perspective, in their lifetime, humans will spend an average of…

 *   0.69%  exercising
 *   41% engaging with technology
 *   29.75% sitting down
 *   0.45% having sex
 *   6.8% socializing with someone you love

Reebok is challenging these stats with the recent launch of, ’25,915 DAYS’ - a new brand campaign that correlates to the average number of days in a lifetime, and aims to inspire people worldwide to honor their days and push themselves to do more with the bodies they’ve been given.

As you can see, I have approximately 17,732 days left, which has got me doing some serious thinking about my health and the health of my BGR! family! Especially since the average human will spend 29.75 percent of our lives sitting down, either at work or at home – or the equivalent of around.....7,709 days.

So how can you make the most of each day?

• Realize that even just 30 minutes of activity a day can make a huge impact

• Take baby steps! That means taking the stairs instead of the elevator or replacing soda with flavored water.

• Find an exercise you enjoy! We're the first to admit that running may not be for everyone. That's why we welcome walkers too!! Black Girls WALK!

• Remember that small changes, make a big impact! As they say, Beyonce wasn't created in a day! Take it one day at a time and know that the pay off WILL come! 

But there's more......
