Sitting Too Much Could Be Deadly, Experts Say - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News - FOXNews.com

Sitting Too Much Could Be Deadly, Experts Say - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News - FOXNews.com: "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."

One idea that comes to my mind is to setup a desk (or a few) at standing height. The computer would be setup with remote desktop so that employees using it could connect back to their workstation and do work as if they were at their desk. That desk could then be reserved like a conference room so that employees could use it for a few short periods during the day. Optionally, the cube could have a tread mill right in front of the computer so that employees could also walk while working.
