Risks of extended sitting

It wasn't what I expected; it was much better ~ Excerpt of review by michaelmac43

When I heard about "Is Your Chair Killing You?" I first thought (wrongly) that it was about the ergonomics of chair design. That spoke to me, because I have chronic lower-back problems and I know that certain chairs are much worse than others. However, I soon realised that the message of the title is that too much sitting down is killing us, whatever type of chair we use.

When it comes to chronic back pain, Burden's bona fides are clear; he's a fitness trainer, yes, but he also broke his back at 19 and was paraplegic for a year.

Is Your Chair Killing You?

Sitting for extended periods of time is as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes. And exercising for 30-60 minutes a day isn’t enough to undo the damage from extended periods of sitting. Is Your Chair Killing You? reveals shocking new research showing that sitting for long periods greatly increases your risk of developing obesity, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer. Our bodies were designed to move constantly over the course of the day, but most of us sit for hours a day at work and at home! Fitness and wellness expert and award-winning author Kent Burden has created brief, simple movements you can incorporate into your daily life to combat the damaging effects of sitting. These simple movements, done standing for 1-5 minutes each hour will burn calories, energize and refresh you, and you won’t even break a sweat; you’ll even improve your back pain. This book is a how-to for weight loss and disease prevention. Read this book–you’ll be healthier in as little as 8 minutes a day.


Author Kent Burden says, “Being a wellness coach and personal trainer, I had clients that seemed to be doing things right. After a day of sitting at work, they would come to me and do their obligatory 30-60 minutes of exercise (lifting weights, doing cardio, yoga, Pilates, etc.) but they often had trouble losing weight and their blood work and physicals were still disappointing considering the amount of exercise they were doing! After reading an article on new research that sitting for extended periods of time may be a disease risk factor in its own right (much like tobacco use), I had an “aha” moment and couldn’t wait to start writing this book. I gathered all the research available on this breakout new field called “sedentary studies” and “Is Your Chair Killing You?” was born. I created short, simple movements that can be done over the course of the day at work or at home without breaking a sweat.”

In 2014 Is Your Chair Killing You? took home the honorable mention at the Los Angeles book festival in the non-fiction category and the silver medal award in the Dan Pointer Global Ebook Awards. The book has received critical acclaim for not just pointing out the health risks that extended sitting presents, but giving real world practical advice on what to do to protect yourself. Loaded with simple exercises you can do right at your desk and a schedule for doing them, this book is the handbook for staying healthy in the modern world.

Kent Burden says:

You would have to be living under a rock or in a cave not to know that living a sedentary lifestyle was bad for your health. But what exactly is a “sedentary lifestyle”? If you’re like me, I figured after a tough 10 hour day behind my desk I could just hop into the gym, throw around a few weights, jump into the last half of my favorite Zumba class and I’d be golden. But back in 2010 I found out that I was wrong…dead wrong.

While perusing my favorite men’s magazine I happened upon an article that reported new research that seemed to indicate that sitting for long periods of time (basically more than 3 hours at a time) was as hazardous to your health as smoking cigarettes. Even worse, doing the government recommended amount of exercise wasn’t enough to combat the damage caused by all that sitting. I almost fell out of my chair!

For the past two years I have been combing through the research on what has become known as “sitting disease” which has resulted in my book Is Your Chair Killing You?  Loaded with pictures, descriptions and easy to follow advice this book will help you be more active and more productive all day long.
