They're not watching TV, but they're stirring a pot or sewing clothing or listening to stories. I think they should do a study of pre-industrial people, to compare the amount of sitting they do with those in the original study.Sobakanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-4103958593819415722010-01-26T09:48:55.490-05:002010-01-26T09:48:55.490-05:00I'm very much aware of this problem these days...I'm very much aware of this problem these days because while I was sitting more (writing and blogging) over the last year, I've gained quite a few extra pounds. I'm trying more stand-up work now by doing occasional half-hour sessions with my laptop on the kitchen counter. I also set the downstairs timer on the stove for one hour, then go upstairs to work.

I can't REMEMBER to get up and walk around when I'm at the computer. But I do take an hour off to run every day. I hope it helps. :)Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
