Have you heard that sitting is the new smoking? Research has shown that sedentary lifestyles are a risk factor for cardiometabolic morbidity and all-cause mortality. So, what can we do? 1) If possible, use a standing to sitting desk; if you work from home and own a treadmill, create a makeshift treadmill desk. 2) Take the stairs instead of the elevator. 3) Walk around the office building at lunch or on breaks – meaning take lunch and give your brain a mental break. 4) Try something new like yoga, Pilates, tai qi, CrossFit, or recreational sports to find the right fit.
