Tip # 34 Stand Up!

Sitting burns about 1.4 calories per minute standing burns about 3 calories per minute. Add it up over an eight-hour time period and you get: sitting 686, standing 1440
Stand while:
Talking on the phone
Watching TV
Face to face conversation
Putting gas in your car


As much as I can complain about having to stand at work it really is a good thing I guess…
What ways can you stand more during the day?
