Do This Small Task Every Hour for a Longer Life The unfortunate truth: You can be a total gym junkie with consistent exercise habits, but if you sit for more than 23 hours a week, your risk of heart disease skyrockets. Meaning: Your sedentary time at the office, commuting or watching "Pretty Little Liars" marathons is a powerful negative influence on your overall health and lifespan.
Sure, I enjoy a good spinning sesh at work from time to time, but I also know that I don't need to dramatically change my habits to offset my sedentary time. Just a few minutes of movement every hour is proven to cut cholesterol, blood sugar and waist size. I accomplish this by walking to a coworker's desk to ask a question instead of sending an email, grabbing a glass of water in the kitchen or reorganizing my bookshelf during a commercial break. Bonus: When I'm feeling tired or uninspired, this short burst of movement gives me an instant energy boost, no caffeine required.
