Sitting is being hailed as the new smoking, and with good reason. Studies show strong connections between extended periods of physical inactivity and health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, muscle degeneration, and even cancer.

Sitting for just five hours a day can increase your risk for these ailments. The average American sits for about 9 hours a day - more than the average 7.7 hours of sleep we get each night.

For those with desk jobs, squeezing in some physical activity during the work day may not be feasible. Exercising regularly outside the workplace isn't enough to undo the damage caused by sitting for hours on end.

But, don't go quitting your desk job just yet.

Sit-stand desks and height adjustable workstations have grown in popularity in recent years as a way to combat the damaging effects of sedentary behavior. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the workday is proving to be one of the most practical and beneficial ways to improve your health while you work.
