[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I can’t remember where I heard it, or where I read it, but it stuck in my mind. Humans are meant to be active…that’s ok I thought, I CrossFit. I go to the box most days and for that hour, I give it everything I’ve got. Therefore, I’m active. I was wrong, so, so wrong. I hope at this point I don’t teach you something new when I say that in a day, there are 24 hours. I’m active for one of those hours. Just over a measly 4% of the day, my body go into exercise mode. This got me thinking for a modern human, what does their day look like? Well, if you don’t have kids, it looks something like this: Wake up, shower, get dressed, get in the car, park at work, walk to your desk, sit all day, leave work, get in car, drive home, sit on the sofa and go to bed. 50% of adults in the UK walk less than 2000 steps (roughly a mile) a day. And that’s where step up to April began, a drive to get adults active again. The rules are as follows – Starts 1st April – end of April Step up challenge
