I am always trying to encourage you to get off your butt during those long days when you sit all day long. I always insist that the two or three hours of amazing, high energy expenditure workout with me does not make it up for those sedentary 112 weekly hours you stay either watching TV, driving your car, eating your meals, working on your computer, or simply being hedonistic and indulging yourself playing video games, having your nails done, getting a haircut, coloring your hair, chatting with your friends, going to the bathroom, (unless you go pee Italian standing style) etc. How many other “activities” of your every day life can you think of you stay sitting??? Doing laundry or the dishes is not the same it used to be because we live in an automated society and we have all the devices and machines to do the chores for us. We also have another 56 hours a week (at 8 hr per day) of sleeping which could be very beneficial if we actually went to bed early instead of watching the late night show. Anyway, I can not reinvent the wheel neither I can write better than the amazing articles I find at reliable websites. Please stop being in denial and get the scary data and useful advice from the following article.
Great article. That’s why it’s good to have a pedometer!!
I didn’t realize how much time I spend sitting. I realize now that I need to make it a priority to get up and move more often!
This article has great ideas on small things to do to make yourself more active. Thanks for the tips!!
Thank you for the reminder. I will make an honest effort to move around every 30 minutes whenever I’m sitting for a prolonged period.
Thank you, with your article, I feel more committed to make my daily walks
Oh do I need this reminder after working on a whole bunch of reports for work. Thank you!!
Thanks! Good reminders and I love the pedometer idea!!
You are right about the sitting and not moving. I move a lot for my work but it is not the same as working out. I need to get that back into my life on a more regular basis.

You are so right, Adriana! I heard a study on the news this week confirming that!
Keep us moving! 🙂
