The majority of us spend most of our day sitting in a chair at work. If we are lucky and determined, we will get in 30 minutes of exercise a day in an attempt to stay in some sort of decent physical shape. Not only are we sitting at work, but then we go home (or to the bar) and sit there too. That is a lot of time in one position when our bodies are designed to be in motion. Think about the exercise you do get in on a daily basis as a way to keep your body healthy and limber and not necessarily just trying to keep off the extra pounds.
NPR had a story on this during today's Morning Edition. Have a read, listen, and watch.
