Let’s face it, it’s time to rethink our relationship with our backsides. Luckily, if you work from home, own a business or freelance from various coffee shops, then you have a serious advantage over those who punch the office time clock. You probably have a lot more flexibility in how you structure your time as well as how you set up your work space than most workers do. And that means that YOU have the ability to get off that chair and do something about your situation before “Sitting Disease” has a chance to set in!

1. BAD
for your
Health?
Why is
Sitting
LEARN how to avoid the Sitting Disease!

2. Sitting
is the next
smoking.
Dr. James Levine
Director of the Mayo Clinic-Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative
and author of the book Get Up!

3. Scientists have coined a phrase
around the epidemic of sitting
and its health consequences:
Sitting Disease.

4. The Connection Between Inactivity
and Ill Health
The more you sit, day after day
without moving, the more difficult
it may be for your body
to adjust to movement in the future,
thus repeating a vicious cycle of ill health.

5. 4 Things You Can Do NOW
to Avoid Sitting Disease
1 Get up every half hour
Yes, I know this can be VERY hard to do,
especially when a deadline looms.
But remember that your “stretch break”
doesn’t have to be extensive— and it may even
give you a fresh perspective
when you have writer’s block.

6. 2 Get in some focused exercise
at least 3-4 times a week
The formula is simple:
Go “all out” for 30 seconds to a minute
(running, fast walking, rebounding, swimming,
dancing, whatever). Then rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
Do that 10 times and you are done!

7. 3 Trade in your Cheetos
and chips for healthy work
snacks
Try these instead: celery sticks with almond butter,
green apples, carrots, blueberries,
flax seed crackers or kale chips. Have them
handy inside the fridge or in your cupboard
and make them your go-to snacks.

8. 4 Use ergonomic chairs
and standing desks
Finally, try sitting on an ergonomic chair device
or even standing for part of your workday.
The internet is chock full of ideas and options
for standing desks, ergonomic sit/stand “chairs”
and even treadmill desks!
