Change the way you sit in 28 days for health, energy and longevity

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
We live increasingly sedentary lives and our lifestyle has radically changed in terms of how we work and naturally move throughout our day. While we all know about the benefits of exercise for mental and physical health, what we're not so attuned to are the damaging effects of just how we sit—at our desks, scrolling on our phones, in the car, or even on our bicycles. But it doesn't have to be this way. By making small changes to our everyday sitting behaviour, we can experience increased energy, confidence, optimism, and openness. Featuring a practical 28-day plan to transform your relationship with sitting, Sit to Get Fit shows you how long you should sit at a time, how to add simple breath work and movement into your day, and includes restorative moves for the end of the day. Sit up, sit better, and reap the benefits.
