If you drive inside Houston’s inner loop, you probably spend at least a portion of your week in traffic on I-69. Passing through the heart of Houston, daily traffic on Interstate 69 (also known as U.S. 59) continues to grow rapidly. If you work five days a week, you probably spend at least 60 minutes in the car every day, and many Houstonians likely have an even longer commute.
More than 80 percent of Americans sit all day for their jobs. Many of those people go home after work and sit some more, whether they’re reading, watching television, playing games or surfing the internet. According to a survey by Ergotron and JustStand.org, most Americans spend approximately 13 hours a day sitting.
There’s no question that sitting too much is bad for your body and your health. Researchers have linked a sedentary lifestyle to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Sitting for too long also causes slouching, which puts pressure on the spinal cord and can cause your body to feel stiff and sore — all factors that may just make you want to sit more.
