Sitting as such is not the real problem. In general we sit down only to get up again after some time. The problem arises when the time span between sitting down and standing up is too long. Continuous sitting, which most people intentionally or unintentionally practice in the workplace, is the problem. This physical inactivity coupled with inappropriate nutrition and little or no time to regenerate from fatique, leads to an increase of disease and illness.

Many people complain about severe back and joint pain, suffer from high blood pressure or heart problems, are diabetic, or are overweight. In addition to the complications for the employee’s personal life, companies must put up with increases in sick days and long-term absences.
