  Beware the Chair

As someone who spends entirely too much time hunched over in front of my laptop, the occasional reminder to get off my ass more often is A Good Thing.

In a story amusingly titled "Our office chairs are slowing killing us", the Sydney Morning Herald reports on the dangers of spending so much time sitting down:

New Australian research shows that half-an-hour in the gym will not make up for the waist-expanding damage caused by spending the rest of the day sitting.

I should probably know better by now.
