Hey guys. Can someone explain spooky motion at a distance to me?

You mean quantum entanglement? I don't think anyone can.
The author of the comic I posted above is involved with Stated Clearly, which is Evolution for Dummies. It's very helpful as an introduction:

Workouts are no antidote to death by desk job
To summarise: Research has shown that exercising increases your life expectancy, but also that the inverse is true: sitting down for extended periods of time is actively shortening your life, even if you're also getting your 30 minutes of exercise in addition. And modern jobs and lifestyles are increasingly requiring a sedentary position, which does not bode well for our long-term health. The article also discusses the effect of regular (as in, two minutes per hour) exercise on glucose metabolism, which is relevant because type 2 diabetes is also an increasing risk factor in modern lifestyles. Two minutes of exercise for every hour you're sitting down has a positive effect on your insulin sensitivity compared to no exercise, which translates into an improved ability to metabolise fat instead of glucose, a lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease, as well as other generalised health benefits that my dad keeps harping on about.
I think I'll start setting a one-hour timer for walking up and down some stairs to work on this.
