Tech neck? The simple stretches to stop you seizing up in middle age
How mobile are you? If the UK’s inactivity crisis is anything to go by, probably not mobile enough.
Many adults spend about nine hours a day sitting down — increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. We’ve got tech neck from staring at our phones and poor posture from hunching over laptops, and only about a quarter of us do the NHS-recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. We’ve become an increasingly static society.
And yet movement is essential for our bodies, particularly as we age. Studies show that approximately 30 per cent of adults over 70 have difficulty walking, getting up out of a chair or climbing stairs, and mobility is the most frequently reported impairment type in the UK.
