Are you sitting too much at work?
Most office workers are sitting too much (often with poor posture), and it’s as bad for your health as smoking is.
What is the great myth?
It’s a myth to believe “As long as I do exercise outside of work, I’ll be ok?” Long periods of sitting at work are not undone by doing exercise afterwards.
“It’s a desk job” “I’m too embarrassed” “I’m too tired” “I’m too focused on my work"
does this resonate with you?
The Solution Is Simple
Research says, you stand/move for at least two minutes every thirty minutes and ideally change posture regularly between standing and sitting. With such a simple answer and knowing most office workers know they should stand and move around more, why do we not do this? well the reasons are varied and may be valid at some level but at the end of the day they are just barriers we self-impose.
