So your telling me that they needed a scientific study to tell us that lazy people who sit on their ass all day are less healthy than people who exercise and stay fit... Really? Did we need a study to tell us this? I'm a strong supporter of science but I really think we need to choose where we spend the research dollars a little better.

I'm totally fucking screwed, I've spent the last 5 years sitting watching youtube for 6+ hours a day...

Who says you have to sit down to use a computer

[GorillazGames]

Hmmm, I had a job driving...which required me to sit on my ass for 8-10 hrs a day. Uh oh......

@alvaradokids Shouldn't we be encouraging the evolution of humans that don't need to exercise, and have many other changes that allow them to function better in the 21st century? Yes, humans aren't well suited to modern life. Let's start changing that over the next few centuries.

Unfortunately most people don't have the option of getting up every 15 or 30 minutes to improve circulation. I was taking too making bathroom breaks just so I could get up and stretch my legs a bit. Someone noticed and bitched to my boss. I have high bp so I need to get up and move around every so often. What I now do is simply stand up every so often or move my legs and ankles around while sitting. Not the same as walking but it helps.
