How long you should be doing THIS each day!

From all the time we spend at our desk, on our couch, in our bed, it stacks up! But scientists say we should only sit for a certain amount of time each day! A new study finds that we should only be sitting, standing, and exercising for certain amounts of time!

Don’t worry, you won’t have to start running marathons, in fact you can even kick your feet back more than you think! But for most of us, who watch netflix and have a desk job, we’re probably already over our number already:

1.  Sleep for 8 hours and 20 minutes.  But as little as 7.5 hours is okay.

2.  Sit for 6 hours.  Even 7 might be fine.  But if you watch a lot of Netflix and have a desk job, you’re probably over that.

3.  Stand for 5 hours and 10 minutes.  That’s just standing and walking around.  It doesn’t include time spent exercising.

4.  4 hours and 20 minutes engaged in some level of physical activity.  Half should be “light” activity, like walking or doing housework.  The other half should be moderate-to-intense activity.  So, 2 hours and 10 minutes of actual exercise.

Based on that, our lives won’t have to change dramatically, but we should probably start exercising sooner rather than later!
