Study: Excessive Sitting Cuts Life Expectancy by Two Years

Studies show that sitting too long is just like smoking, it takes years off of your life.  And it does not matter what your activity level is, sitting too much is bad.  So what do you do?  Ditch your chairs.  Hold a mass burning of chairs and stand up for life!

Alright so now what?  Your desk is now too short?  Now there are no more desks tall enough at hotels, the office, or anywhere else you travel to?  Well here is a solution I came across on you guessed it, Kickstarter.

This campaign is for a portable, folding, standing desk that you can take anywhere.  All you need is a door, some drywall to plug in some hooks, or a tall enough wall to hang it on.  This would work great for Mike Miller, who could hardly sit down after winning the NBA Championship with the Miami Heat.

For me, I work in computers and am in grad school. So, I am constantly sitting. I sometimes wish for a break to be able to stand up and work, but I don’t want to buy a whole new desk that takes up more space. This looks like a cool solution, because when I need the space I can fold it up and pack it away. If I have to travel I can take it with me.

Check it out! Extend your life! Get some ninja magnets!
