Don't sit so much. It is said that sitting is considered the new smoking. Sitting too much ages us and can make plenty of health issues worse. Sitting less than 3 hours a day can boost your life expectancy by up to 2 years. Stand up. Take a walk. Stretch. Move. You'll not only live longer, but you'll also live better.
Studies of over 1 million people found that one hour or more of moderately intense physical activity a day could counter the effects of too much sitting.
That may seem like a lot of exercise for one day but you can also break up your sitting time. Stand regularly, walk a lot when you can. Have your meetings on the go. Take a walk with your co-workers and discuss the issues outside, or at least down the hall.
My doctor once told me "It's not all about exercise, but it's about 'move'. You have to move your body."
