I thought this was a good piece of information to share with you. I'm definitely guilty of sitting down all day: first in my car, then at my desk, back in my car, then back at home. Maybe I should be a dog-walker! :D
Very interesting - and scary! Especially the part about exercising remaing constant, sitting increasing and obesity doubling. I wonder if there is any cause and effect research demonstrating the relationship.
I've heard that sitting on one of the large exercise balls instead of in a desk chair is helpful. It's probably that you need to use your core muscles for balance.
I spend way to much table sitting while working on jewelry and this computer. Didn't know that it was OK to lounge though....Thanks for the great info.
I am guilty too. Setting all day and I am lucky I didn't die yet lol. I didn't know that is the right way we have to sit the 135 degree. thanks for sharing
Great info makes you think a lot about sitting. As I sit here on the computer after sitting at work all day. I am gonna print this off and take it to work to share. ;)

I had seen an article on Yahoo about this recently. It mentioned that when you sit for too long, you develop gluteal amnesia. Scary words!!
I better get up now.....yikes!!!
Really interesting..the only good in sitting at the 'tube' is that I can make some nice crocheting! Wish you a lovely day/ Eva
Love the illustrations. Lets get off our tushes people!
Great post. I think I better get out of this chair now....
Gluteal amnesia? that's funny...I worry about deep vein thrombosis!
This is depressing, but perhaps I better lie down.
OMG, this explains everything! I second the comment about lying down.
Great post, I'm guilty!
Wow...now I'm thinking about all of the times I sit down during the day...insane...
Wow....I really have to get off my ***, maybe I'll join New England is laying down and taking a nap. On a serious note, pretty frightening statistics!
Oh, and I'd really like to know what butt amnesia is. Your butt has a concussion, or what?
Yikes...that is scary....that is me!
Pretty scary, but what can you do when thats your job.
Some crazy statistics in that article!! Very important information.

Getting up and moving around is vital.

WOW! This is astounding! I'm surprised I haven't died yet in this case. Between office work, playing with clay, and computer work....I sit A LOT!!!

Wow! That's really important info! I had no idea that the risks were still higher even if you workout regularly. Thanks for the info.
Funny I read this while sitting in my computer chair. Maybe blog Wednesdays is a bad idea even if they are fun to read.
