Set a 50-minute timer right now.
Sitting more than 8 hours daily raises all-cause mortality risk by 60% even in people who exercise regularly. Exercise and prolonged sitting are independent variables. One does not cancel the other.
When the timer goes off:
- Stand up and walk to get water
- Do 10 slow bodyweight squats
- Take five slow nasal breaths
- Reset your posture before sitting again
Two minutes per hour. Your metabolism and your longevity both respond to this.
