Do you know how many hours you spend sitting down every day? You may not be counting, but researchers have been, and the numbers are surprising. Recent studies reveal that people spend an average of 64 hours a week parked in a chair, or on the couch. In comparison, people average about 28 hours per week standing and just 11 hours of low impact movement, like simply walking around. So what's the big deal? As it turns out, our bodies were not meant for so much sitting. Your body is designed to move. Being tied to your chair for too long isn't good for you. So what are you waiting for? Next time you are stuck on a task at work or when a commercial come on , get up and walk around. It's one small step you can take for a lifetime of better health.
