Sitting is really bad, not counting the reduction in bone density and in the way to osteoporosis.

[@raspas99]

Unfortunately countless studies show that exercise after sitting doesn't really change deteriorating effects. It's something that you came up by thinking about it briefly and it sounds like it helps but in real life it doesn't. It also shows how just thinking that you know a solution really doesn't mean that you have it.

[@ManlioLoGiudice]

@@raspas99 to better clarify a possible misunderstanding: the studies you are referring are surely applicable to "going to the gym after 8 hrs of work spent sitting". This should be not the case. Alternating brief sitting sessions with frequent movements / standing ups it's another story overall and there is plenty of evidence this counteracts sedentary behavior outcomes.

I liked the video how it explained. I've been spending my time sitting down and doing computer-based tasks for hours. It is really bad for our health. The world is driving us to more passive life. For instance, in the past when someone wanted to get a food, they would just go to the shop, walk around a bit, buy the food and return. However, in today's world, the technological advancements allow us to order food from home via our phones. Another example is that kids before the invention of cellphones, used to play outside games, hangout with friends to ride a bicycle and etc. Sadly, today's generation is in a period that they would not even want to go out to play physically due to the availability of smartphones and the internet. All in all, it was a great video with illustrations and thank you for reminding me to sit properly and walk around a bit.

I was so gutted that I only found out about this last month. This is one of those things where, if you exercise regularly, you're lured into the false sense of security by thinking your health is fine, but that alone can't counteract hours of pressure on your spine, vital organs, etc. You HAVE to MOVE. I will share that, after just one week of cutting back my sedentary hours to less than four a day, my poor circulation has improved dramatically, I've lost nine pounds in a month and an inch of my waist (excellent when you're 40!

Congrats, you'll live 2 years more. When the others suffering from multiple health issues die, you'll still be lying in your bed healthy enough to not just go. Your eyes won't be the same so you won't be able to read or watch videos, you won't hear the music but your body will not let you go for 2 more years. It's worth it. =P

[@arandompersonwhohasapartic6661]

Everyday from 12:00am to 8:00 I sleep which is basically laying down. School starts at 8:45 so I have to run around for about 20 minutes, and that's about as much exercise I get everyday. I spend 6 hours and 23 minutes at school, which means at most 5 minutes moving between classes. Then I either go home by car or by train. 10 minutes of sitting/standing. Then I spend about 2 hours doing homework and revising. Oh yeah, lets not forget about those tests I have in 3 weeks. Another hour for each subject. At the end of the day, I get less than 1 hour of exercise everyday and only 6-8 hours of sleep. Not very ideal for a middle school student.

[@purplepinecone]

The usual posture of lying down in bed should be better when you're stationary, and lying down can be a good way to sleep. Your body also uses sleep to repair itself, so lying down isn't as bad.

[@CryptoGenius686]

laying down is fine.

[@MAGNETO-i1i]

[@thestarspark2288]

Be careful, sitting is the whole reason I've had problems with my back. I'm a student, I'm young, fit and healthy, and I slipped a disc in my spine from sitting too much whilst studying last year, and ever since I've been in pain nearly every day. I was incapacitated for weeks, and since then I've had to spend hundred of $$$ on seeing my physiotherapist, a lot of time doing strengthening exercises and swimming, and minimizing my time sitting. As a result I've had to completely change my life style and the way I spend time. As I type this I'm laying on my yoga mat at home, keeping my spine in good posture and taking the weight off it. Its getting better though, finally. It is WORTH it to take breaks from sitting. It got to the point for me where I would have to sit up the back of class and stand up because I would be in so much pain.
