15 Daily Habits To Move More And Sit Less

Sitting is the new smoking.

Research shows that sitting for over 8 hours a day increases the risk of death, comparable to that of obesity and smoking.

And the average person sits for 12 hours a day.🤯

So here are 15 habits to stop this epidemic of a sedentary lifestyle:

1) Stand up and stretch every hour.
2) Use a standing desk while working.
3) Hold meetings while walking instead of sitting.
4) Choose stairs over elevators whenever possible.
5) Use a fitness tracker to monitor your daily steps.
6) If feasible, walk or bike to work instead of driving.
7) Go outside during lunch when the weather is nice.
8) Participate in group fitness classes for motivation.
9) Dedicate at least 30 mins to physical activity daily.
10) Engage in active family outings like hiking or biking.
11) Use apps or alarms to remind you to move every hour.
12) Challenge yourself by setting achievable fitness goals.
13) Incorporate stretching exercises into your daily routine.
14) Dance to your favorite music as a fun way to get moving.
15) Do simple exercises like leg lifts or seated marches at your desk.

A sedentary lifestyle is a silent killer,
that takes away our health every day.

The less time you spend sitting during the day,
the better your chances of living a healthy life. 🙏
