Our bodies and brains just don't function at peak if we're sitting around all day. In this video, HealthMaker Jim Loehr, PhD, discusses the science behind this truth.

Jim Loehr, PhD, and Jack Groppel, PhD, are co-founders of the Human Performance Institute. Loehr is the co-author of the bestselling book The Power of Full Engagement. Groppel authored The Corporate Athlete book.
