How Too Much Screen Time Is Sabotaging Your Fitness & What You Can Do About It
📱The average American adult now spends over 7 hours a day on screens!
That’s more than 49 hours per week — the equivalent of a second full-time job. And most of that time is spent sitting still!
In today’s hyper-connected world, it’s normal to start and end your day with a screen. Whether it’s checking emails, binge-watching a series, scrolling through social media, or working on a laptop — screens dominate our lives.
🔎 Screen Time = Sedentary Time
While not all screen time is bad, the real danger comes from prolonged sitting and lack of movement. Studies have linked high screen time to:
Weight gain and body fat accumulation
Poor posture and low back/neck pain
Sluggish energy levels and brain fog
Higher risk for heart disease and diabetes
Disrupted sleep due to blue light exposure
If you’re a busy parent or professional in Scottsdale who spends most of your day behind a desk or device, it’s likely impacting your body more than you realize.
⚠️ What Screen Time is Doing to Your Body
Your Metabolism Slows Down
Sitting for hours drops calorie burn to near zero. Your body stores more fat, especially around the midsection — aka the “dad bod.”
Your Posture Suffers
Tech neck. Rounded shoulders. Tight hips. Sound familiar? These issues don’t just look bad — they lead to injury and chronic pain.Your Energy Tanks
The more time you spend inactive, the harder it is to stay motivated to move. It becomes a vicious cycle.
