So you sit at a desk all day and wish there was something you could do to make your weekly routine a little less... sedentary. Especially since you've probably been reading about how excessive time spent sitting is associated with a host of negative health effects--even if you exercise regularly.
That and maybe you're trying to lose a little bit of extra weight too, which you know (in addition to eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet) requires that you increase your daily activity levels. But how can you boost the amount you move around (and as a result the amount of calories you burn) throughout the day when most of it is spent sitting behind a desk?
