Sir Isaac Newton defined Inertia as a basic property of objects  “[…] to preserve [their] present state, whether it be of rest, or of moving uniformly forward in a straight line.”  In our modern world, inertia is what drives us towards a sedentary lifestyle of poor eating habits and lack of exercise.
