According to research, "the amount of time you exercise and the amount of time you spend on your butt are completely separate factors for heart-disease risk. New evidence suggests, in fact, that the more hours a day you sit, the greater your likelihood of dying an earlier death regardless of how much you exercise or how lean you are."
Apparently, even standing more often can make you "active". So if you don't have a job that keeps you moving, sit on your exercise ball at work or get a standing or treadmill work station. Make sure to use your legally mandated 15 minute break to get outside for a walk, or even just to sit outside in the sun for a few minutes, soaking up some rays to help boost your vitamin D.
