    Sitting leads to cancer, eh? Ironic then that it was cancer that lead to me sitting so much - brain tumour; treatment destroyed my inner ears leading to tinnitus, hearing loss, and severe balance impairment. And hair cells don't grow back, so it's still wrecked nearly 30 years later. Still, that's 30 years I was not going to have otherwise, so... Winning!

    Great video! At 87, I'm doing very well health wise, and working on improving. Sit at my desk computer 10 to 12 hours per day, but I started taking breaks every 30 minutes, about a year ago. When my 30 minute timer goes off, I jump up and dry fire my pistol 5 times, walk briskly to the back of the house, then all the way to the front and back to my desk. Takes 90 seconds. Recently, adding 60 seconds on my MOVE POWER PLATE 5 times or so per day. It's set for max vibration. Feels good. Whole thing take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes per hour. Feels good, and based on this video, appears to be great inssurance.

      How active are you for the rest of the day. 8 hours sitting, 8 hours in = 16 hours. 1.5 hours walking as a % is not very much?

    I subconsciously move forward and back like on a swing that moves forward and backward and also keep moving my legs while sitting I think that helps, and sitting straight is the key, and not sitting continuously for more than 2.5 hours

    The studies are missing something more important, five more important...
    Their diets and lifestyles
    How much oil did they consume?
    Meats? & Fish?
    Animal fats and oils.
    Dairy?
    Eggs?
    And refined sugar.
    This would give us a better understanding of what they were consuming.
    A five deadlier killer than just sitting on your ass.

      @Heyu7her3 haha 😆 funny
      On what evidence supports this scientific theory of the killer veggies?
      It's simple to fix, if a food has an adverse effect, what do you do?
      That's right, don't eat that particular vegetable or food.
      For non foods like oils, that is straight toxic cancerous poison, that causes Anoxia for at least 12 hours after consumption, damaging and killing cells, there are zero benefits.
      And any positives will never out way the negatives of oils.
      Just think how many fruit, seeds or nuts would go into making the average amount of consumed oils, then imagine that being served the same amount oils nuts or seeds on your plate, could you eat it all?

    I have a sit/stand desk that I actively use. I'm standing right now.
    I also have a rebounder that I use while watching youtube. Some of the time, at least. This late at night I use headphones, which isn't rebounder compatible.

    Step one: took the back off my chair did wonders for posture. Step two: fidget. My feet move. My thighs move. My "cheeks" move and bounce me up and down. Maybe I'll buy a desk later but today the lawn needs to be mown.

      @@Heyu7her3 maybe it helps that I "made" my stool from an office chair. I can adjust it high enough that my knees are slightly lower than my rump, which tucks the small of my back forward, at least while typing or daydreaming. I'll still slouch while writing or reading.
