March 2026 marks the 75th consecutive month that Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I have completed a 30-Day Coach4aday Challenge. For this milestone month, we’ve chosen to focus on teaching. Each day for 30 days, we will share one lesson, principle, or insight gained from the previous 74 challenges—calling it the 30-Day Coach4aday Teach It Challenge. For each of us we believe that our own personal growth increases when we share it.
Today I am revisiting the danger of a SEDENTARY lifestyle.

If you have read any medical or health related articles in the past couple of years, you have come across the phrase “Sitting is the New Smoking“. As we age the temptation to become sedentary has to be avoided.
“Teach It” 30 Day Challenge Guidelines
In past challenges, we invited others to join us, though participation has been limited. This month, the three of us will return to January 2020—the very beginning—and move forward to the present, reflecting along the way and sharing a life lesson or insight from any month with one another.
Here is how we will do it.
- Identify the principle, insight, or lesson from a previous 30-Day Challenge-identify the Challenge also.
- Teach that lesson to each of us.
- Share the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 13-Sedentary
Retirement, a vacation, or a weekend off might generate thoughts of sitting down and relaxing. That may not be what we really need. Studies reveal that a single lifestyle adjustment, minimizing sitting time, can diminish the risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and back pain significantly.
