What a line. "Can you limit your sitting and sleeping to less than 23 1/2 hours a day"
Amazing to think that this is true for most people
This video has changed my life. Today is my 38th day in a row of exercising at least 30 minutes a day, which is about 37 more than I ever did before. I feel much more energetic and my other health issues have seen a noticeable improvement. Thank you so much Doctor Evans.
Dr. Evans, I need to say thank you...I watched this for the first time last February and it CHANGED MY LIFE. A sedentary 55 yr old woman, borderline obese, just diagnosed with diabetes, even though I'd quit smoking, I was not a healthy person. But since I said "yes" to the question posed @ the end of the video, everything has improved. I walk between 2-5 miles 5 days a week, have lost 30 lbs, done 2 5ks and a 10k, and all of my health stats have improved. I can't thank you enough...
Oh my goodness. This really frightened me. I spend hours in front of my laptop. I always mean to go walking and I am never motivated to go. I am overweight. I have hypertension and high cholesterol both kept in check with medication.
OK I am inspired now. I want to be around for many more years.
I like the way you said 23 and a half hours of sitting. Instead of walk 30 minutes a day, makes that 1 hour walk seem like a breeze
Thanks OITNB :) I had to know what our friend Pipes was talking about.
Julie Hedberg Ditto here...
For those who dont understand the Orange is the New Black reference here- in episode 7 of the new Netflix blockbuster series- 23 and 1/2 hours is featured. I wont be a spoiler... but it is way cool.
Chapman is the lead protagonist (and a fan of our wee movie)....
This is very affirming. My husband and I started walking about 15 years ago. We walk almost every day for 30 minutes to an hour. We live in Minnesota, so some people think we are a little nuts, but we find walking in the winter very invigorating and use Get a Grip's to prevent falls. If we dress properly we are never cold. I am now 56 and my husband is 61. We are on no medications. If we need medical treatment we first try less invasive alternative medicine. Great video!
' Get off the couch and off your computers' people comment as they sit on their couch and are on their computers.
This simple, elegant, brilliance and effectiveness of this 9 minutes of information ROCKS
This is a great little video worth watching by everyone who cares about their health. Nice share Andy Heppelle
If all my lectures were like this I would never miss a thing. Great video!
I love this video. I am studying Exercise and Disease Prevention and my Prof recommended watching this video in the first lecture. Such a good video.
Jarrett NG It seems Orange Is The New Black *didn't* bring you here :D
Lissa Sorsa, thank you for making this important information not boring. :)
He says to exercise 30 minutes a day. There, I just saved you ten minutes.
My doctor put me onto this video. Makes soooo much sense. Will put these suggestions into practice and I'm positive my health will be better. Thanks Dr Evans, you're a legend.
I gave up my automobile just over one year ago and walking has become a necessity which has developed into a joyful activity!
This video was a real eye-opener and a motivator for me to exercise more.
Who came here from Orange is the new black
Excellent video! All healthcare providers should see this - we are asked every day "What can I do for my health", and this is clearly the simplest answer, but is so difficult to convey to patients. Thanks for summing it up at a level that EVERYONE can understand!
I started a walking regiment about 6 months ago creating a walking route which I timed at 45 minutes. The route is located within a mixed residential and business area in my neighborhood which is less boring and convenient. I can now walk this same route in 1/2 hour at a normal but brisk rate. Works great in terms of mindset in taking 30 minutes out of my day and commiting to doing some form of physical activity. It doesn't require a schedule involving other people and the solitude is a bonus.
Thanks Mike..Trouble is , we dont live in jungles anymore ...forget the couch and TV ...many of our jobs promote sedentary lifestyle...we just have to take an hour out everyday and walk, swim, bike and run. I am 62 and I swim every summer in our community pool ..Thanks Mike
Wonderfully presented! I currently live in Okinawa, Japan, and I exercise regularly and eat well. The diet here is fantastic, and people of all ages walk and jog here every night- I have never seen anything like it! It's so refreshing to hear this information from a Western medical professional. As a culture, we owe it to ourselves to reduce and reverse disease and disorders we have acquired through bad habit, so we can focus on treating those that cannot be reversed and must be "cured."
I really appreciated this video. I am a lady who has reversed many health problems in the past 14 months,including diabetes type 2, I did it by losing 100 lbs,walking and eating the right foods.
I went to a health seminar this past week in Gatineau and the MD who presented a 1/2 day on maintaining good health in retirement told us to check out your video. I am so glad I did, it is excellent! I love the creativity behind the message....amazing stuff. Thank you!!
Awesome video!!!!!!
"I'd do anything to lose weight, except eat healthy and exercise regularly"
I have always felt there is great value in regular exercise. I have been very physically active all my life. But, I expected your message to be that stress reduction was the key! I have been practising meditation for little over a year now and have been amazed at how much it has improved my sense of well being and my quality of life. I believe that with out resolving ones stress, many will have difficulty sustaining healthy habits Having a peaceful life is key. We are here for a good time...
This video changed my life. I first saw it in February and have walked every day since. Without even trying I lost 10 lbs, but more importantly, I feel so much better in general. Much more energy, less tired, less stressed. Now my whole life revolves around me getting out for my walk.
The single best video on CZcams, this video must be shared amongst all family and friends regularly and shown in all schools. I have not seen a video that puts it message across as well as this one, it does it in a low key non-aggressive manner but demands to be taken seriously with the thought that has gone into the presentation style and content. Just amazing.
Wow. I'm 12 years old and this video inspired me so much to become more healthy and to get more active for my own sake. I understood this video even though there where a few big words but the drawings really helped. I'm going to wake up tomorrow and start a new fresh. More exercise from joe on and less tv! Thank you so much:)
On the days when I do not want to exercise, I watch this again.... and then I get moving. Thank you for helping many of us to gradually change our lifestyles.
I started exercising about 1.5 hours a week on the elliptical about a month ago, and I've been really down on myself because I don't see many physical results. However, what he said in the video, about exercise counteracting the negative effects of obesity--while I'm not even overweight--really helped me see the light. :)
I cannot praise you and your staff's production enough.Concision and clarity squared. Massive gratitude to your team. Love the art/direction. SUBSCRIBED!! :)
Sitting is the NEW Smoking .... I like it!
absolutely inspiring. thank you. I loved all the references back to the studies done. I loved the way it has been presented with the sketches and the white board. this needs to be shown to as many people as possible. I am going to make it my priority to be active 30 mins a day. I will sit down and make a plan to make this happen, better than any pill and it is free. thank you again.
I walk an hour most days listening to my Ipod so delighted to know it has so many benefits:)
Outstanding! As an artist, I can definitely appreciate the work that went into this. I'll be sharing with my class!
Orange is the New Black brought me here!
YOO, ME TOOO!!!
Woop Woop!
How ?
christina wesley Piper was talking about this video with Mr. Healey, her prison counselor
Excellent and makes good sense. Affordable too!
Mike - Even though I try to keep up with HDL, my wife found this, not me, and I was delighted to find it! (She does these kinds of sketches herself and loved this one). A million and a half views later, wow! A great way to share the message and how fantastic the impact.
The DVD is available for medical and educational institutions only, at

Just saw this on Netflix OitnB, thank you!
Orange is the new black.
This video makes me want to do 2 things:
1) Walk or run 30 minutes a day and...
2) Find a white board to write and draw on!
So cool :)

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!! SHARED IT EVERYWHERE
Walking is the best exercise... no doubt about it
One of the most brilliant and narrowly focused presentations I've seen. Bravo, Dr. Mike! Most importantly, the research and evidence was done to support the presentation in a wonderfully appealing way...thank you
I lost my dog a couple of years ago. After that I lost my will to get out and just walk for the hell of it. I'm going to change that today. I will take a walk just for fun for at least thirty minutes every day or evening. I like evening better, less people on the street and all. This video was very informative.
I'm highly impressed with the message and production quality!
Orange is the new black brought me here.......lol
I've just started walking 7 weeks ago now up to 3 miles a day, look better, feel better, sleep better. I am a 68 yr old female have never been overweight was a size 8 now a 6 did weigh 139 now 131 but I have firmed up all over my leg muscles which I haven't seen in years are now defined my neice noticed them last week it was a good feeling knowing that my new walking schedule is paying off.
Thank you Dr. Mike for this wonderful video it has inspired me to forge on!!
Of all the many shows I watched about weight loss, (sitting on the couch staring at the "chronic disease" machine snacking while others worked out or told me how to lose weight) THIS blew them away!! You have motivated me greatly!! Bless you!
Any chance of listing the studies in the "more", so people can follow-up on the research?
Great stuff. The evidence for doing more exercise is so strong - so why don't we do more?
I just began walking 30 minutes per day last week and I can already tell a difference. This is great advice. :)
I know a lot of people make this complicated,and I appreciate your making health a relatively simple concept... and it is, just getting up and working out on a regular basis and eating properly. It's not complicated. Thank you for sharing your video, which breaks it down for us.
Thanks Doc mike! Great explanation. Love the channel.
#oitnb brought me here... Chapman was right... I wanna try this...
I think I can definitely limit by sitting and being sedentary to 23 and 1/2 hours a day! Thank you for all of this useful information, Dr. Evans!
The punch line is killer. My hat's off to the animator and editor - brilliantly executed.
Glad to have a standing desk =)
I found this video very helpful, in the sense that I can use a thirty minute per day exercise regimen to combat any illnesses that I have now. It is also a good way to prevent early death. I have a dog, whom I walk every day in the cooler months of South Texas, but when it is hot, like it is now, I slack. But there are many solutions, some of which are mentioned in this wonderful video. I personally park in a farther parking spot most times so I can get some extra walking in their. Thank you for posting.
illustrator has done a commendable job too!!
Dr. Evans a BIG thank you for that simple yet powerful presentation. Free of jargons and full of common sense! Clearly you care about the health and well being of fellow human beings. God Bless you!
How do you differentiate between watching too much tv and not exercising. Seems to me the problem isn't necessarily watching TV but it is that you don't exercise. What if someone followed the exercise plan and still watched a lot of TV, is there a difference there?
AQGOAT24 Same question...
AQGOAT24 There is no single best thing you can do for your health. Everything (diet, stress, sleep, exercise, etc.) is equally important.
"Orange is the New Black" brought me here!! Hahaha
Doc Mike Evans....just loved it...They say big things come in small packages...This simple videos was 1 of the best i ever seen..I have gone from 28 Waist to 35 Waist in just 1 year frm Jan13 to 14...and i am alredy starting to feel its effects ..have 2 go back frm 35 to 28...Thanks for the wonderfull vid...
Best Dr I have heard, In the last few month I stopped nearly any activity and I can the importance of this video. (I am 37). Me too trying to create some changes and get more people into gardening. I will publish it on my pages - Bless you Dr... Ofer
watching this AFTER i've already exercised for an hour ^^
You're welcome to embed the video on your site directly from CZcams
Love this video. The focus of this video is really physical activity: "any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure" (WHO). Exercise: activity requiring physical effort, carried out especially to sustain or improve health and fitness. I think of exercise as a planned, repetitive activity, where physical activity is just raking leaves or walking the dog, but could include jogging. Perhaps it is just semantics.
This could not be more spot on. The way it is done is interesting and grabbing. 30 minutes is nothing though people, get on it!
anyone else here from OITNB?
Who else watched this cause it was mentioned in Orange is the New Black?
This is the single best presentation on "Exercise as Medicine" I have ever seen in my 30 years in the field and even compared to hour or 2 hours presentations. Bravo on getting the message across so plainly and clearly! ACE Ex. Physiologist
It's the truth and the whole, incredible truth. Every study regarding walking says the same thing - keep walking to keep living.
what a fascinating video! I love the doodle video it was entertaining and kept me watching! although I am a huge fan of nutrition being the key to a healthy lifestyle, I also agree that exercise is equally key :)
Chapmen sent me here.
I started walking 30 minutes a day about a year ago. I still am overweight but I feel healthy. This video encouraged me to do more.
Incredible. What ever happened to simplicity?
I don't think anyone has ever been able to communicate this message so clearly in the modern day and age.
You sir are an inspiration.
That video breaks all sorts of boundaries and even shuts up the ever so persuasive "Gym freak", if you know what I mean. The ones that constantly tell you that anything under 30mins, and isn't HIGH intensity is useless.
I thank you for this video.
This is something I will watch repeatedly to better my life. Cheers!
Until about 2:10 I had my fingers crossed that he was going to say, "Bacon"!
lol piper from orange is the new black mentioned this video!
Beautifully done Dr. Evans. You are successful in motivating, not by being exhortative and pushy, but by being factual and respectful.
thanks to all who did this video

This changed my perspective on things and how beneficial moving really is.
I've got a nasty autoimmune disease (+other issues;wonky thyroid,chronic pain,PCOS,^BP,etc.)& was on steroids for freaking ever (5+yrs straight& 3 yrs on&off)& was a freaking parade float & after weaning off of steroids had lost over 130lbs (still going too)& while cutting out a lot of crap from my diet was key, getting off my duff was the best thing I could do for myself & awakened my libido. Just a little time on a recumbent bike, walking,& dancing helped a lot! You do a lot by doing a little.
Orange is the New Black brought me here.
This is really interesting :3
Could have saved the time watching, but really don;t we already know we should be exercising 30 minutes a day? the video does an amazing job framing the problem and pointing out that the solution is not in a bottle it is within our control and costs us nothing but 30 minutes a day. So worth it!
Genius. Simple yet profound - the facts speak for themselves. Thanks Dr. Evans!
Orange is the new black
Oitnb anyone?
Great talk. As a family medicine resident I find the hardest part about getting patients to exercise is showing them why it's so important. Motivation is key, and sorely lacking. I live in a cold part of the world, but 30 minutes a day should be achievable by anyone, any time.
I'm sold. Thanks. Can't stop to talk. Gotta walk.
Orange Is The New Black.
I'm here because of Orange is the New Black. XD
Finally someone tells the truth about achieving good health
A great video. Last year I walked daily for 30 minutes, plus climbed 96 stairs aproximately 3 to 4 times a week. I wanted to be fit for my trip to Israel---lots of walking! I.ve slacked off since returning home. You've motivated me to get back to an invigorating habit. Mary 77 years old:)
