“Sitting is the new smoking.” “Sitting is killing you!” “Sitting is dangerous.” Recent reports clearly state prolonged sitting is dangerous and can cause early death. We live in a modern world with advanced technology which allows us to drive in cars, take public transportation, work from our computers, and make phone calls. We no longer have to walk to work, walk to chat with another coworker or friend, or work to gather or hunt our food.
