Today’s typical lifestyle includes long commutes, continuous hours spent chained to a work desk, and the repetitive habit of lazing in front of the television – all adding up to being as bad, if not worse, for our health as smoking.

Studies indicate that even if people incorporate vigorous and regular exercise such as running and weight training after sitting for long periods of time, they can still experience the adverse effects of being sedentary for lengthy durations. Just like smoking, sitting for more than six hours a day alarmingly raises your risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
