Where Sit Happens!

Unscientific yet pertinent piece in Men's Health regarding the amount of time spent sitting and its relationship to disease occurrences.

"...We looked at where and how often people exercise (Experian Marketing Services); the percentage of households that watch more than 15 hours of cable a week and buy more than 11 video games a year (Mediamark Research); and the rate of deaths from deep-vein thrombosis, a condition linked to a lot of sitting (CDC). And since some people define "exercise" loosely, we gave credit for any physical activity in the past month (CDC)."
