Q: A new study found that we spend less than 1% of our life doing this?

A: exercising

 

 

A new study by Reebok found that the average person spends less than 1% of their life exercising.

Here’s how they figured it out.  They say the average person is alive for 71 years, and we only exercise for an average of 60 hours a year.

That’s five hours a month.   When you add it all up, that means we spend 180 days total exercising, or 0.69% of our lives.  So, yeah . . . makes sense.  But it gets even worse.

The study also found we spend 29.7% of our lives SITTING.
