What do you do when you can exercise? Walking too much knee injury jogging injury joints, see these statements, many people do not dare to excessive exercise, for fear of hurting the knees! And then you just choose to sit at home with peace of mind? Stimulation through exercise can make the synovial fluid in the knee joints in the joints flow, to help the knee joints better movement, but also can provide nutrients. Being sedentary leads to poor circulation in the lower extremities, slower metabolism, and decreased synovial fluid production in the joint cavity, increasing the risk of lower extremity joint injuries, and there will be a heightened risk of arthritis in the knees and hips. There are also these hazards of being sedentary! Cervical spondylosis Sedentary people, the head is often in a forward-flexed position, the neck blood vessels are under pressure, the neck muscles are in a state of tension, the local blood circulation is not smooth enough, so that the brain’s blood and oxygen supply is reduced. Cervical ligaments, tendons, tendon sheaths can not be relaxed, it will form cervical osteophytes, cervical ligament calcification, ossification, cervical vertebrae followed by stiffness and straightening, which occurs in different types of cervical vertebrae. Lumbar spine pressure 90% of the working time are “bow sitting” in the office. Sitting for a long time hurts the lumbar spine. The pressure on the lumbar spine when sitting is 1.5 times that of standing, and if you sit in an incorrect posture (e.g., leaning forward), the pressure on the lumbar spine will increase, and the pressure on the lumbar spine will even reach 2.5 times that of standing. Incorrect sitting posture will also cause muscle tension imbalance between the two sides of the spine, thus compressing the lumbar spine nerves, causing various discomforts.

This is actually a quantitative treatment of exercise time, according to the frequency of about two steps per second, “6000 steps” is about 40 minutes of fast walking. You can also increase or decrease the amount according to your own physical condition.
