    Wow. I never knew that sitting more that 3 hours a day could increase the chance of our death. How sad this is. It only shows, that we should not be lazy. But become more active that ever.

    Great info graphics which reminds me that I need to get this butt off the couch/chair a lot more often than I usually do.

    Unfortunately it’s true that sitting kills. The bad thing is that we not only sit at work, but when we come back home as well. To make matters worse, sitting is an independent risk factor, i.e., exercising regularly does not protect you from the bad effects of sitting.

    A few tips to counter “too much sitting” are:
    – take frequent breaks (walk to the bathroom, kitchen, talk with co-workers)
    – sit on a stability ball (this way your core muscles are engaged at all times)
    – replace driving for one weekly errand with walking/biking.
