Research shows that sitting at a desk most of the day can take a toll on your health. For this reason, some health experts call long-term sitting "the new smoking." Stand-up desks and even expensive treadmill-desks have been introduced to mitigate this health crisis. There may be an easier way to mitigate all the risk: Move when you get the chance. Walk in the morning, walk at lunch, pace while on the phone, do some stretches every 30 minutes, try a few sit-ups, do some lunges, or try "burpees." Put a reminder sticker near your desk that says "Move!" and fight the impact of sedentary work. Get your doctor's approval for an exercise program, if needed.
