Your body constantly adapts to what you repeatedly ask it to do.

In A Body in Motion, TJ Walker explains how sedentary routines can gradually reduce strength, balance, bone density and physical capability. Modern life makes it possible to move from bed to car, desk, couch and back to bed with almost no meaningful movement.

The encouraging news is that the greatest improvement often begins at the bottom of the activity ladder. You do not need to become an elite athlete. Walking more, standing regularly and building movement into ordinary routines can support your health and preserve your independence.

This episode will help you stop thinking of movement only as formal exercise and begin treating it as a daily instruction to your body: keep the strength, mobility and balance because they are still needed.
