Around the globe, physical inactivity is a silent killer. It’s responsible for:
- 7% of Type II Diabetes
- 10% of breast and colon cancer cases
- 9% of premature deaths, or over 5.3 million of the 57 million deaths worldwide in 2008 alone.

Light at the end of the tunnel
However, the story doesn’t end there. Regular physical activity can dramatically change this narrative by:
- Cutting mortality and the risk of recurrent breast cancer by approximately 50%
- Significantly lowering the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
- Reducing the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer-specific mortality in adults who maintain more muscular muscle strength
- Boosting academic performance in both children and adults
