There was no way around it, and I am happy for the healthy education of exercise. I began teaching fitness, from infants to seniors, in 1985 and for 22 years brought the gift of healthy living to many of my clients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6061\" alt=\"Ten Simple Exercises\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Ten-Simple-Exercises.jpg\" width=\"558\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Ten-Simple-Exercises.jpg 558w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Ten-Simple-Exercises-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 558px) 100vw, 558px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In many professional offices, employees sit at a desk for approximately 7 hours per day.
