In this episode, I sit down with Aman Negassi, who’s on a mission to tackle what he calls “death by desk”—the hidden cost of modern, sedentary work. This isn’t about gym routines or six-packs.It’s about function, longevity, and staying capable as you get older—even with a busy schedule. 💡 What You’ll Learn Why sitting all day creates muscle imbalances and hidden dysfunction The difference between lifespan vs healthspan (and why it matters) Why pain isn’t always what you think it is How “exercise snacks” can transform your daily energy Why structure beats motivation every time The real problem behind desk work (hint: it’s not just the desk…) ⚡ Key Takeaways Function > aestheticsTrain your body for how it performs, not just how it looks Consistency beats intensitySmall daily actions compound over time Movement doesn’t need time—it needs intentionEven 1–2 minutes can make a difference Complacency is the real enemyNot the desk, but what we don’t do around it 🚀 Try This Today Start simple.
