Even though a healthy lifestyle has become a trend all over the world, increasingly popular on television and social media, statistics still show that many people are far from perfection in terms of being in good shape.

In fact, over 80% of adults don’t follow the recommended guidelines for muscle-strengthening and aerobic activities. And the number is about the same for teens who don’t meet the youth guidelines.

With most young people spending more than 7 hours a day in front of a screen, it’s reported that only one in three children engage in physical activity every day.
