Magers and laymen are examples of people who fall into the sedentary lifestyle category. People prefer to sit, stay still, never exercise, even the number of footsteps a day is minimal.

The easiest example, you work every day from the office. Departing in the morning from home with an online motorcycle taxi to the front door of the office. At the office, sitting around for 8-9 hours, just taking the occasional walk to grab a drink or meet a coworker. Time to go home, already ordered an online motorcycle taxi to the front of the house. At night you feel tired and choose to lie down until it's time to sleep.

Within a day, your movements are fairly minimalist and this is dangerous if you do it continuously. According to research from the International Journal of Obesity, the longer the time spent idling, the bigger a person's waist size and this is closely related to the risk of obesity.

According to other research, 90% of people who sit for more than 6 hours a day at work are more prone to psychological disorders such as restlessness, fatigue and hopelessness.
