Sitting Is Killing You AND Your Back

I sit a lot during the day. I study. I listen in my counselor’s chair. After sitting at my desk for long periods of time, the center of my back aches. I creak when I stand up. Sitting hurts!

Sitting is so much easier than standing! I like to relax and  watch a little Hulu or a movie now and then. I watched the Superbowl last night, but spent a good portion of it cleaning and standing around talking. I’ve tried working on my computer while standing, but it’s work. A plus during my day is that I climb fifteen stairs about a dozen times a day. That helps! And I try to exercise at least thirty minutes a day. Still, I came across a great graphic that helps understand the benefits of NOT sitting. It’s a little sensationalized, but basically true.
