Living a healthy life 

We have to exercise way more than we do. We're practically seated all day long, in our desk chair at work, in our car driving to work or home or being stuck in traffic and in front of the television at home. More and more it is proved that prolonged sitting is a serious long-term threat to our health. So we have to get off our asses and get on the move!
The negative effects of prolonged sitting are visible with both people who workout multiple times per week and people who don't. We even have to exercise while we're seated. The British government advises us to take active breaks after every 30 minutes of sitting to get a good health.[1]. It's easy to get more exercise while being seated. You could stand up for half an hour and do your meetings standing up instead of sitting down. You can also get your own drinks at the office or at home. As long as you aren't seated for more than two hours in a row. Other ways to 'exercise more' are:

• Taking the stairs instead of the elevator
• Exercising during your lunch break with a nice stroll
• Taking your phone calls standing up
• Creating a dynamic office

More exercise during work

Employers expect their employees to be productive during their workday. In many offices and workplaces at home this seems to mean that employees have to spend their workdays sitting at a chair. Yet this doesn't necessarily have to mean employees can't get exercise during their workday.
