Daily Reminder to Stand Up

Tweet

Since we all obviously spend at least some time online, I wanted to remind everyone to take standing breaks sometimes. It's actually really bad to sit for extended periods of time, so try standing and using your computer (you can stack books to make a standing desk if you have a laptop) or your phone. If you really want to sit, try getting a yoga ball to keep your core engaged. Or you can try kneeling instead of sitting (this usually doesn't change how high your head and arms are, so you can still use your computer). Take breaks, even if you just walk one lap around your house or jog up and down the stairs once. Go say hi to a neighbor. Just MOVE! Obesity is one of the worst diseases in the world- help combat it by staying active. Do you remember to take breaks from sitting?
