Sitting bad for your health?

Sitting vs Smoking (study)

So another study to tell us what we already know..., sedentary lifestyles are not good for your health. Got it.

All the more reason I want to get out of my current 'career' that is a desk job, and get into a job that's got me on my feet getting around much more.

Being right at the end of Power School (Comp next Tuesday), I can agree that sitting is definitely bad for your health. Trying to lose weight, increase my fitness, deal with stress, and successfully finish NPS has been a challenge. I haven't felt this out of shape in a long time.....

It has not effected me any...probably because I have lifted weights ( yes even on 2 fast attacks back by the R-114s) and ran (4-6 miles 3/4 times a week) religiously for the last 25 years and have watched what I eat. If people want to do it they can make time as your health is a pretty important concern. I work out for 35-40 minutes even on days I work 12 hr shifts because my drives to/from work are only 15-20 minutes. I see other guys my age that have back, shoulder and knee problems from their physical jobs and would take sitting as the better alternative than abusive physical work as I get to chose the type of excercise that builds my body versus abusing it in some cases and I can change my regiment as I feel like as I get older.
