🚶‍♂️ Regular walking may be one of the simplest ways to protect against chronic lower back pain, according to new research from NTNU published in JAMA Network Open. 📊 The study found that people who walked over 100 minutes per day had a significantly lower risk compared to those with less movement — and intensity mattered less than consistency. At Aquila, we believe these findings reinforce the power of small, daily habits in building stronger, healthier communities.

https://norwegianscitechnews.com/2025/09/regular-walking-prevents-chronic-back-pain/

Do you suffer from back pain? The solution may be to go for a walk – as long as you do it regularly. Volume matters most, not intensity.

It’s so easy to get caught up in step counts, rep goals, or PRs—but true fitness is about so much more than numbers. As WebMD reminds us, metrics like push-up counts are outcomes of fitness, not its definition.

Think of fitness as your ability to move freely, keep your body healthy, and feel energized every day—whether that means stronger mobility, boosted resilience, or simply more joy in your movement. What’s YOUR “why”? Maybe it’s reclaiming energy for the workday, moving without pain, or finding confidence in every stride.

Let’s redefine fitness on our your terms! At Aquila, we encourage you to dig deeper into your “why”—whether it’s boosting mental resilience, reclaiming energy, or moving through life with confidence—and let that guide your unique definition of fitness. ⬇️

Pushups and step count are a byproduct, not a definition, of fitness. It’s not even about your “why.” Dig deeper for your true definition of “fit” – it’s worth it.
