Stand Up

[skb]

This study corroborates that standing (as opposed to sitting) will help you lose weight (or not gain it).

A while back it was popular to use a standing desk and they were being installed in some work environments.  I think that people were not too impressed with  the results and it seems that the idea has kind of dropped off. 
I do agree that sitting for long periods of time are not good for you and that is why I try to get up and walk at least every hour during the day.  Right now I try to walk at least 500 steps each hour for the 10 hours from 8 AM to 5 PM and the Stepz app keeps a record of that.  I honestly don't know how much good it does but it makes me feel better about myself.

"10 kg in four years", eh? Isn't that about 22 lbs.? Which equates to about 1½ ounces a week? Wow! Double WOW!
