No problem, I commonly get out of my seat and start dancing for no reason whatsoever every hour or so.

Oh, good, I'm not the only one.

I am simply incapable of sitting for more than an hour at a time. Even if it's only for thirty seconds, I must get up and move around.

Yeah, I tend to feel fidgety every couple of hours, especially when doing something not quite fun, so I'll have to stop, get up, and walk around or something.

I can sit for hours on end but it'll start to hurt. I will get up and stretch every once in a while.

Lain's post №480

Time to put this into context, shall we?
LONDON – Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.

Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it occurs.

Research is preliminary, but several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.

[...]

"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals," Ekblom-Bak said. She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucose and fat in the body start to shut down.
So get up and walk around!

Add me to the club of not wanting to sit still for long periods of time. I get restless and every so often I want to pace around, so I take the excuse to walk to the trash can, or get a snack, or whatever, or I just walk around for a bit.

I don't like standing for long periods either though without walking or sitting at some point.

Well, if this is all true, then I won't be around a lot longer. But really, I get up and do other things a lot of the time. I can't sit still for more than 2 hours at a time, and I usually go to the restroom, get some food, or check something that doesn't really need checking.

I move around a lot. I seriously can only remember one time in the past few years I've actually sat for over four hours at a time, and I hated it.

Does getting up to grab a Mountain Dew every couple of hours count? ._.

Although I get up every now and then, I don't believe it's enough to ~counter~ my long periods of sitting.

"youre gonna die early because you dont exercise so youll get heart disease"
"youre gonna die early because you sit down too much"
"youre gonna die early because you eat too much crap"

Never expected to live long, anyway. No big deal.
