Apparently, there's no _true_ offset for extended hours of sitting[1]. There might be some science/studies behind smart watches urging you to stand for a couple of minutes every hour, however.

A lot of people make a living sitting in a chair all day. What are we all supposed to do instead? The implications of this are pretty far-reaching.

Depends on how much you care and how able you are to compel yourself into action.

Almost every one of us reading this is in a position to abbreviate our work with physical activity at the very least. I just wager that most of us are too addicted to comfort to actually do anything about it in the face of the evidence. For example, we already know that a sedentary lifestyle is bad yet most people don't exercise.
