Sitting all day (bad?) vs. standing? - 23/07/2012 12:35
In my quest to get fitter and lose weight, I came across some articles on the fact that sitting at a desk all day (which I do) is pretty bad for you. Even going to the gym or exercising in the evening isn't enough to counteract how unhealthy sitting for long periods is.
So, does anyone have any experience of this? Has anyone switched jobs going from one mostly on their feet to one mostly sitting (or vice versa), and noticed any difference to their health or physique?
Here is one of the articles I read. Feel free to pull one such article apart: http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/28/standing-up-on-the-job-one-way-to-improve-your-health/
