Movement at work

Recent studies suggest ‘sitting is the new smoking’. A sedentary lifestyle is linked to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, chronic back pain and osteo-related diseases. In fact, the World Health Organisation lists inactivity as the fourth biggest risk factor for global adult mortality.

The muscle activity needed for standing and other movement promote important processes related to optimal health. When you sit, these processes stall and your health risks increase. Creating new and healthy habits can have a profound impact on your energy levels, health, and performance.
