The average American spends 9-10 hours of their day sitting, and in some occupations, like telecommunications, employees typically spend 12 hours sitting every day. This is not a healthy state of affairs - studies show that prolonged sitting can increase your risk of death from virtually all health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Regular exercise, like going to the gym or for a jog, does not seem to significantly counteract sitting's bad effects, but there is evidence that small and frequent changes in your daily sedentary position might. For example, research shows that for those who sit for a living, just 2 minutes out of every hour spent walking around increased their lifespan by 33% compared to those who did not.
Thus, figeting has gained new respect! While sitting less is certainly a surer bet for optimal health, figeting on the job is a good habit to acquire. Here are 10 figeting exercises developed by experts in the sports and exercise field. You can do these in your office (or home) without causing a ruckus and they're enough of a challenge to help counteract some of that sitting down time. For those who figet moderately or often, longer sitting time should not increase mortality risk.
