All tag results for 'sitting'

We hope you appreciate this, because we risked our lives by sitting in front of the computer to get this message out to you.

According to results of a long-term study, spending too much time sitting down can shorten your lifespan.

Results showed that women were at a higher risk of sitting-related-death, so you might want to bail on those high heels, since you’ve basically got a death wish if you sit through 8 hours at the office.

We wonder how this bleak news will affect life at the office. Here are some of our concerns:

-Will we all become hunchbacks from standing and leaning at our desks? Would we even prefer to live longer as freaks of nature?

-Are we going to spend inordinate amounts of time standing around the watercooler out of fear of returning to our desks? At least the TV industry will benefit, because we’ll have to watch many more shows so we’ll have things to talk about for hours on end.

-How will cigarette smokers cope with the fact that they’re shortening their life span when they sit down and when they go on cig breaks? Will their workplace morale drop drastically?

-What’s the most lethal way to sit? Will we die a little less soon if we cross our legs at the ankles?

How will you cope with this devastating news?
