Sedentary Behavior Risks

Sitting for more than 8 hours a day with no physical activity has a similar mortality risk to smoking and obesity. Research recommends standing or walking for 5 minutes every 30 minutes of sitting. Even 60-75 minutes of moderate exercise per day can offset the increased death risk from excessive sitting.
