    There are people who have a life but with little or no exercise or physical activity, they tend to stay most of the time sitting, this is what they call sedentary lifestyle.

    Most of people who are sedentary in their lifestyle do not do physical activity for the reason that of time and that their work consumes much of their day and at night they have no energy at all, fatigue enough that they want to rest immediately.

    There are also people who don't like doing some exercise directly, or go to gym time to time or practice any tupe of sport that they prefer in their hours of rest, rest do just that, installed in fron of the TV or computer and those who work through the Internet and spends most of their time in front of the screen, say no strength left for another physical activity.

    But do you know that sedentary lifestyle has its problem? Because when someone does not do physical activity all your muscles are no longer used that may lead to muscle atrophy, poor blood circulation throughout the body, bringing along other health problems like obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and apnea during sleep

    Many scholars attribute the sedentary life to an attitude of laziness, because they will invent one hundred reasons for not exercising as tiredness, fatigue, boredom, lack of time, other unavoidable commitments, hard work, and so on.

    In fact fatigue, although it is true, is more about mental fatigue than physical, but the truth is that if you practice a little exercise may initially experience fatigue, but then we will feel better, both physically and mentally and with more energy.

    Obesity is a problem that is closely linked to lack of exercise and excess weight will result in a sedentary lifestyle, making the situation in a vicious circle.
