No time to work out? Do this instead...

If working out isn’t your thing – how about just standing up for a while? 

It could lengthen your life. According to Dr. Mike Loosemore, head of the Institute of Sport Exercise and Health at University College London, just standing up for three hours a day can extend life span by two years.

Dr. Loosemore says anyone can find time for some low-level excersize – and just standing there counts. He says regularly getting off your seat, can change your life forever and that active individuals reduce their risk of heart disease by 40% against their inactive counterparts. Standing up and moving around several times a day has also been found to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, various cancers, and ease depression.
