A lot. The difference between being completely sedentary and moving a bit (easy walks, standing desk, etc.) is the biggest leap.

My current main shoes were $40 online, and they&#8217;re just as good, if not better, than the $120 shoes from Roadrunner.<\/li>\n<li>Pilates looks easy if you&#8217;ve never tried it.<\/li>\n<li>Once you reach a certain level, you will plateau there unless you challenge yourself further.<\/li>\n<li>Strength training is helpful for just about everything, even improving your running times.<\/li>\n<li>Foam rollers are super useful for managing sore muscles and tendons. Highly-recommended.<\/li>\n<li>Boosting your VO<sub>2<\/sub>Max is painful&#8211;interval training is the gasping-for-air kind of torture many people think of when they hear the word &#8216;exercise&#8217;&#8211;but it&#8217;s also important if you want to improve your run times.<\/li>\n<li>But you shouldn&#8217;t try to improve your run times or anything else unless you have specific bigger-picture goals in mind.<\/li>\n<li>Seriously&#8211;sitting is terrible for you.
