Sitting Is Killing You!

Many of you may have already seen this infographic. I first stumbled across it a few months ago, which started me thinking. Last week, I found it again, on Michael Hyatt’s blog. This was originally posted on visual.ly. But it’s incredible information.

As a result of this, and some additional research, I’ve decided to replace my current desk in my office with a standing desk. I’ll post a few photos of it once I get everything in place, which I expect to see happen in the next three weeks or so.

Until then, read this. But be warned; it may challenge the way you think!

    Thanks for the heads up Jeff! It proves that sitting and waiting for death will be successful…..

    It is pretty crazy. I have previously seen and heard the information presented in the infographic. It is pretty scary as most of us spend our days sitting in desks that are killing us.

      I know! I’m making the transition to a standing desk later this month. Making myself commit to a better/healthier lifestyle.

        I’ve seen a few people wanting to make the switch to a standing desk. Let us know how you like it once you try it.
