This is pure common sense. The more you sit, the shorter your life span and that is a fact. Someone who sits at his chair for 8 hours a day, stands up from his chair enter his car, go home, eat watch TV, sleep, then watch TV all through the weekend and sleep at night is not going to last as long as someone who takes time to do some light exercise once in a while.

Your muscles get weaker from lack of active use, there is build up of cholesterol, and fat due to accumulation of sugars from lack of calorie burning. Well, add two bottles of coke and a three bottles of stout everyday and the life span even gets shorter.

theres a difference between sitting and being lazy.
