'Sitting Disease' biggest challenge to optimum health

Since bodily movement throughout the day is an investment in your health, why not try stretching every hour while at your desk, taking short walks whenever possible, using a pedometer to count your daily mileage, balancing on a Swiss ball when you’re sitting, standing up while on the phone, or while watching TV.  As an added bonus, you can do some jumping jacks, squats, yoga poses or push-ups during the commercials.  Set the watch or the phone to sound an alarm at every 45 minutes, as a reminder to get up from the desk and move.
