When Sit Happens - Death Happens!

Most Americans sit too much which is now often referred to as "Oversitting."  A new research study shows that too much sitting can increase diabetes and heart risk as well as premature death.  The study found that exercising other times during the week didn't help that much - YIKES!

We are a nation of sitters.  We sit at work, in the car, at the kitchen table ... and then at the end of the day we sink down into the sofa to watch TV or sit again at our desk and surf the web.

We sit on our bottoms too much which leads to this Bottom Line ...

When Sit Happens - Death Happens.

Click here to read more about this research study.  Here is a short summary:
The researchers then cross-referenced sitting time with a variety of health problems, and found that those who sat the most had a 112 percent increase in their relative risk of developing diabetes; a 147 percent increase in their risk for cardiovascular disease; and a 49 percent greater risk of dying prematurely.
Today is the day to create a Rejuvenation Plan that includes a purposeful strategy for movement - your life depends on it!
