reading articles about fitness could be bad for you unless you read them standing up. The New York Times Gretchen Reynolds is the latest to write about studies on in activity and health in a New Australian study. Researchers said enjoying an hour of TV from your couch can cost you 22 minutes from your life, but that if you get up from your chair every 20 minutes or so and just walk for two minutes, your blood sugar levels will thank you. Experiments at the University of Massachusetts showed that people just standing all day not even exercising, burned hundreds more calories than when sitting for the same time period. More studies have shown that aerobics boosts brainpower great, but after you've done your aerobics and your strength training, give yourself a standing ovation.
