According to research, what we do with the other 23 hours of the day when we are not exercising is what seriously impacts our well-being.

Americans sit an average of 9.3 hours a day at work, or while watching TV, surfing the web, and being on the phone.

These prolonged periods of sitting actually reverse the positive effects of any fitness routine.

The good news is that moving for as little as five minutes every hour can significantly improve your health and lifestyle.

Try having a stand-up meeting with your co-workers, skipping the elevator and taking the stairs.

Going for a light walk after lunch, parking further away from the entrance at work, or riding a stationary bike while reading.

Better yet, ride your bike to work!

The possibilities are endless.
