Luv this post
It is very true.I've always worked retail and never did any sitting.I am so used to standing that when I do sit for any length of time it is very uncomfortable. When I'm on the computer I find my self standing quite often. Yoga is my preference to stay long and lean or a good combo is yoga Pilates

Actually, your risk of death is 100%.

Marketers actually give seminars on how to use silly scare-tactic meant-to-go-viral infographics like this. Apparently few people question the assertions because the graphics look authoritative.

That's what happens when you raise a generation on visual media and not critical thinking.

Sitting is not evil. It doesn't kill you. Do what works best for you, not what some agenda-driven marketer tells you.

Sitting straight, feet planted on the floor, tummy tucked in, shoulders back, using the proper chair, leave the donuts alone, leave the sugar out of the coffee, that should help. After work go for a walk, at lunch time go for a walk, after dinner go for a walk. You should do fine!

Sitting is a posture and thats it. It doesn't kill you. Its the way you eat and burn your calories that matter most. I know a guy who became invalid at the age of 17 after an accident and now he is 40. He is not obese because he eats low calorie diet and cannot move his legs. He even sleeps in his wheelchair. Look at Stephan Hawkins and think.

Sitting for long periods of time definitely has an adverse affect on your body. I'm getting pain on one side of my body for sitting too long. Now I try to get up every hour for 15 - 20 minutes.

I just hate these kinds of statistics. Plenty of people in great shape, who didn't sit much, and lived a healthy lifestyle, died at a young age. It makes me wonder why so many of my friends and relatives that lived healthy are gone, and I'm not?

According to statistics, I must already be dead. I'm 69 with diabetes, which cut 7 years off my life. I'm left handed, another 10 years off. I sit most of the day, however much time that's worth. I'm overweight and my diet isn't the best. Maybe tomorrow will be my day. Wait, I think I said that last year, and even a few years before that.

I hope all you younger people have a long life. However, old age is not always good. My grandmother lived to be a hundred. I was all she had left. The last years of her life weren't enjoyable, even though she wasn't ill. No thanks. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

What a load of crock.

The real risk here is with the connection between sitting for long and being obese. Being obese is not good for you, we know that and sure enough a majority of obese people are not on their feet all day. duh!

They then tell us 'Sitting wrecks your body!?!?!?!!!?!!!'...

As soon as you sit 'electricity shuts off in your legs', 'cholesterol drops' 'enzymes reduce'.....

So that would mean sleeping is wrecking out bodies too? Or you should never sit down, at all.

Thanks for this! Excessive sitting has long been a concern of mine and I've even worked for periods of time standing at a tall table I have in my home. Still, I sit for far too long each day and this post helps remind me of the dangers involved. Gotta move more!

On a sidenote, I've recently started enjoying a minimum of two hours worth of sunshine and fresh air each day. One hour each morning and another in the afternoon (with sunscreen and a big floppy hat, of course, lol) has helped to increase my energy and has strengthened my immune system (husband recently battled a doozey of a cold, which I normally would have contracted, too).

Working from home has its perks, but a lack of attention to our health can cause major problems in our lives.

Thanks, again, for the reminder!

I have an aerobic step near my desk, so that I can do some exercise during my breaks.

I have lost 16 pounds so far, and the only thing that I've done is to cut out sodas and add this little bit of exercise to my regimen.

Good for you!

The good thing about having the step by the desk is that there aren't any excuses - it gives you a good workout (feeling the burn! LOL), but it's incredibly convenient.

This could a Google-sponsored campaign, they cannot get rid of the spam so they are trying to stop it at the source, by frightening people into giving up IM. :-D

There seems to be much contradicting evidence, the people with lowest life expectancies are those from the poorest African nations.

While the Japanese/Hong Kong Chinese live the longest, see the list here:

List of countries by life expectancy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The average life expectancy in the 1900's was around 70 not including infant mortality.

I work in the exercise / public health field, and I have to agree: it's 100% true and backed by scientific studies.

What many colleagues and I do is work standing or on a stability ball.

It's hard the first few days, but after a while your legs (or core) get much stronger and you can stay up all day.

Helps me keep my focus and fall asleep faster at night, too.

Yes Carl I had an idea those posters were going to be backed with scientific proof, bummer something else to worry about.

I would like to see a scientific study done for the effects on life expectancy caused by increasing a persons anxiety levels by telling them they are going to die more quickly than they thought.

What's this about standing on a ball, all day? Wow! you have got some balls to do that

probably big rubber ones.

As a former personal trainer I dislike sitting down for long period of time. I came up with a way to avoid this with a simple exercise ball.

Every 45 minutes I change my seating position from sitting down to semi standing with the ball placed on the chair. This means I have to support my own back (engage core muscles) and challenges me a little to keep my balance.

I rotate this sequence every 45 minutes or so.

I also changed my comfortable chair for a cheap plastic chair so that it gets uncomfortable after a a few hours. The idea is to remind in multiple ways to get out of my chair.

I wrote a detailed blog post about it here (including a picture of my chair and ball)

Thanks

WOW! Interesting post. I now feel very strange while sitting down! Got a big urge to stand up and type this message.

I love the design as well - as a graphic designer myself I really like it!

Thanks

I get up every hour and have a stepper in my home office and do 100 steps on that, plus so some stretching and then take my dogs around my garden for a walk. (I am one 1 1/2 acres). then back to the desk.

Also guys you can purchase a product called circulation booster, and plug that in under your desk. It massages your feet and gets the blood moving through your feet and leg muscle etc. It is fabulous, use that 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes whilst at your computer, doesn't interfere with what you are doing. Also works on your reflexology points in your feet. Amazing less stress!

I have to do this as I suffer from Fibromyalgia so if I sit for a while, I get stiff and the pain in unbearable.

So go for it guys, what's the use of making huge amounts of money, if your backside is too big to fit into the car of your dreams, or your too sick to enjoy it!

A lot of correlatory points in that infographic. It says that sitting kills you because you get fatter, but it's getting fatter that kills you, not sitting down.
