Whether this is true or not, we know “sitting” is contributing negatively to our overall health. Most people spend the majority of their daytime hours at work in a seated position, which has resulted in a wide variety of serious health risks.

With overwhelming evidence supporting the need for movement within the work environment, we can no longer ignore these risks. This webinar will:

• Describe the latest research on the negative health impacts of sitting.
• Review the current body of scientific knowledge on sitting vs. standing vs. leaning/perching
• Provide guidelines to use in the workplace promoting movement
• Share objective data on the multitude of health benefits and latest productivity data associated with regular periods of active movement (Active Standing, Leaning, Dynamic Sitting)
