I spend time laying down in my bed and wathing videos on youtube…. Does that count?
during the summer i will sit at the computer for 8+ hours a day… and im skinny, healthy… and I do some sport like activities
Unfortunately most people don’t have the option of getting up every 15 or 30 minutes to improve circulation. I was taking too making bathroom breaks just so I could get up and stretch my legs a bit. Someone noticed and bitched to my boss. I have high bp so I need to get up and move around every so often. What I now do is simply stand up every so often or move my legs and ankles around while sitting. Not the same as walking but it helps.
I study all day and sit for a while. Sucks…
TheYoungTurks, I think I got your point.
what if i stand and watch it
youre so right ive seen a video of africans hunting a gazelle and all they did war track it till it dehydrated and just stopped walking its amazing!!!!!you must have seen it as well…..we evolved past the bubonic plague and now in africa theres people being born immune to aids some prostitutes have become immune to aids by takeing the weakened virus duruing oral sex …their bodies kill the weak virus and thus they are immune just like takeing the flue shot!!!! i wouldnt try it at home
im always moving, like when i watch tv (which i dont do a lot) im always getting up and walking back and forth through the living room or my room and the same with music
the only time i really sit for a long time is when im on the computer writing, reading, or drawing and im always fidgeting i cant keep still xD
i spend a lot of time online, but i end up getting up and moving every *estimates* ten minutes
LOL yeah chinese people do think that about moving your feet under the table,
My little brother who’s 16 weighs about 400 pounds doesn’t even watch tv. He always fidgets and stuff when sitting down. Yet he’s freaking huge. This study is wrong.
interesting thing about that, I noticed my health deteriorate as I sat in the 3 hour long classes. I would always fidget and become easily irritated. I always felt that there was something very wrong with sitting down for such long periods. I guess this video serves to be of relevance. So, unless you are working on your college degree, stop going to classes.
funny thing about this, I have a brother who is the perfect example of someone who spends excessive amounts of time watching tv and he is very prone to being sick. He is very skinny, but he is like the most unhealthy looking person you will ever see. I try to get his ass to play sport, but he would prefer to lie down and listen to music or watch some more tv.
heard this story already
god i better stop going to school. all that sitting down in class……………….. dumbass TYT
At the bording school I used to go to in Kenya, we used to excersise like crazy.
They forced you to run 10 laps of the track (4km) every morning, take a shower then go to classes.
Then again the evening at 4pm everyone in the school had to do 5laps (2km) run around the track.
Then it was back to the dorms.
We were the healthiest friggen 12 year olds ever lol. School of 2000 people, and there literally wasn’t a single overweight kid
thats cool because I fidget a lot anyways. xD
@nsduo hahaha
what if you have no life and all you do is sitting in front of your computer!!!!!
i fidget constantly and im skinny as hell, maybe that should be the new weight loss craze lol
i wouldn’t worry about this that much. correlation without causation
Cenk is a poor, crazy and horny motherfucker
So your telling me that they needed a scientific study to tell us that lazy people who sit on their ass all day are less healthy than people who exercise and stay fit… Really? Did we need a study to tell us this? I’m a strong supporter of science but I really think we need to choose where we spend the research dollars a little better.
Hooray for fidgeting.
New study finds:
Staying alive too long can kill you.
Humans weren’t made to be sitting in office buildings 8 hours a day. Truth!
