Prolonged sitting presents seriously harmful side effects to our health. There is an abundance of literature linking sedentary activity to chronic health problems. In fact, many sources indicate that prolonged sitting could be as deleterious as smoking! Reports show that many adults report being sedentary for up to 8 hours each day! This presentation will bring light to the issues and offer helpful tips and discussion on how people can get moving and live longer!

Here's what you get when you attend one of Thunder Sports & Fitness' workshops:

  • Gain knowledge of HOW to be healthier and the enthusiasm to ACT on what you've learned.

Mr. Reynolds posted: Only 38% of the population is eligible to donate. And only 10% of those eligible actually donate! We need to do way better...lives are at stake. I donated for the first time last year and I'll admit - I was nervous.But if stepping out of my comfort zone meant someone else could live...I'm happy to do it! Just visit www.redcross.org and use the sponsor code: Thunder to register for my blood drive on August 30th.
