Stand up and get skinny!

Everyone is buzzing about all the studies coming out showing how truly detrimental sitting all day can be on your health. It has been shown to contribute to a whole host of health problems, not least of which is a reduced ability to metabolize fat. Boo!!! Look up Oliva Judson's great blog on the New York Times. After reading it I've switched to a stand-up desk and I'm making more of an effort to be on my feet as much as possible throughout the day. Also check out the info on Livestrong.com and Science daily.com. Good information.

I worked in a call centre site once and it had ergonomic desks. All the desks raised and lowered so if you felt like stretching or standing for awhile you could do that, then sit if you needed a rest - at least you had a choice which was nice.

Listen to this good woman people! She is giving us good info!

I completely agree! It's funny because I literally see people running for a spot when I take the city bus. I always stand up and people tend to ask me if I'd like to sit down and I say "No thanks, I'm fine", but what I really want to say is "No thanks, sitting isn't too good for you" ^^

You are so right about sitting, bad for the knees. I don't think I can stand you being even more glamorous - you are way off my scale already!

I'm a gay 20 year old guy...but my god, I would go straight for you! Can you talk about your sleep schedule? You mentioned in one of your videos that you wake up at 5 am every day...so besides make up and all that can you talk about life styles choices that you think are making you look so fabulously gorgeous at that age!?

Are you wearing HEELS, though? LOL. Love you and I will do this. I've heard of this and people who put them in front of their Precor Elliptical. Love, John S.
