Orthopaedician: One workout can't undo sedentary day

Dr Geetish Kori, Orthopaedician at Apollo Spectra Hospital Bengaluru, explains why one gym session cannot undo a full day of sitting.

Prolonged sitting slows blood circulation, deactivates muscles, reduces calorie-burning enzymes, and harms the spine, joints, and neck.

The body does not work on a 'damage now, repair later' system; daily movement matters more than occasional exercise.

Dr Geetish recommends regular movement throughout the day rather than relying on a single workout to counteract inactivity.
