> Physical activity is essential to health, and yet, collectively, we have become more inactive. It has been declining in the past few decades to the point where as many as 27.5% to 31% of adults worldwide are now physically inactive. 4 teenagers out of 5 do not meet the minimum threshold of physical activity per week recommended by WHO. Our children have lost 25% of their cardio vascular capacities last 40 years.\

> The Lancet has described the rise of physical inactivity as “pandemic, with far-reaching health, economic, environmental, and social consequences.”\
