[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2177, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/12/health/too-much-sitting-exercise-workout-wellness/index.html'][B]5 exercises to offset too much sitting - CNN[/B][/URL] It's another day of self-isolating, which means it's potentially another day of sitting indoors restlessly taking yet another Zoom meeting. Prolonged sitting is an unavoidable reality for many. And with lots of us spending more time inside, as the pandemic continues, it's inevitable that we're spending even more time being sedentary. The irony is that we're staying home to protect our health, but all that added sitting is putting our health at risk in other ways. In addition to being a risk factor for many life-threatening cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, excessive sitting can lead to depression, chronic pain and increased risk of physical injury, [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5618737/']according to[/URL] [URL='https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/49/11/705.short']research[/URL]. That's why it's important for us to become aware of our sitting habits and do what we can to counteract them. [/QUOTE]
