Even if you are a generally healthy person who keeps fit, studies suggest that all the benefits of even daily exercise can be undone by sitting for extended periods of time at work or at home. In fact, sitting for more than 6 hours each day can make you 18% more likely to die from diabetes, heart disease, and obesity (compared to those sitting less than 3 hours).
For better or worse, the modern day workplace is predominantly centred around desks, screens, and seated workspaces. But that doesn't mean we are helplessly destined for a slow, seated deterioration! Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep healthy and fit at the office.
