Sitting At Work

I sit ALL FREAKING DAY at work.  I have now shaved 2 hours from my commute each day, which is awesome, but still...  Right now I am required to work a minimum of 50 hours a week and they push for 60.  Great money now but it will all be devoured by the multiple heart attacks later on!

Check out this article: Incorporate Physical Activity into Your Work Breaks for Better Health 

"Your after work exercise isn't enough to counteract an entire day spent sitting at the office as far as your body is concerned. Incorporate micro-bursts of activity throughout your day to counter the effects of extended sitting."

"Men who spent more than 23 hours a week watching TV and sitting in their cars (as passengers or as drivers) had a 64 percent greater chance of dying from heart disease than those who sat for 11 hours a week or less."

Holy crap. I guess it's time to run the stairs instead of pooping on my breaks...
