Sit Less, Live More: Simple Hacks to Keep Moving

What are the effects of sitting for too long?


There were 18.5 million office and administrative support jobs in May 2023, making up 12.2% of total employment. According to a study published, which involved over 480,000 participants, individuals who sit frequently at work are 16% more likely to experience early mortality from any cause. More specifically, those who spend prolonged periods sitting face a 34% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.


BUT here's the exciting part—this is something we can absolutely take control of and prevent!

Here are some simple yet effective ways to keep moving throughout your day:


  • Drink more water! Not only does it keep you hydrated, but it also encourages you to get up frequently, whether to refill your bottle or take a quick bathroom break.


  • Set an hourly alarm to remind yourself to stand for at least 20 minutes. Fun fact: standing for just one hour could burn up to 100 calories—imagine the impact over a month!


  • Invest in a portable standing desk or request one at your workplace. This small change can help improve posture, reduce discomfort, and even prevent injuries when you train.


  • Step outside for lunch! Take a walk to a nearby park or bench and enjoy your meal in the fresh air. 


  • Then gradually incorporate an exercise routine into your day. 


We, as humans, are designed to move—not to sit in a stressful position that accelerates degeneration. Keep moving, keep thriving!
