Episode description
New studies suggest sedentary behaviors increase your risk of chronic disease.
There is new evidence that prolonged, unbroken sitting time is related to people's risk of obesity and type-2 diabetes.
One way to combat this is to get more walking in throughout your day.
Walking doesn't have to mean an hour-long jaunt. It can be as simple as just walking around the office for 5-10 minutes just to get your blood flowing.
Michele Stanten, a walking coach and ACE-certified fitness instructor, shares great advice on the best ways to keep moving to avoid that sedentary style.
