• Resumen

  • Lovett talks about the link between sitting down and premature death. Inactivity research is revealing that inactivity, particularly in the form of sitting, is really bad for one's health. It might sound like a statement of the obvious, but the killer point is this: inactivity is bad even if one exercise as well. Heading to the gym is not a licence to spend the rest of the day on the backside. The message is clear. Sitting still for hours at a time is a health risk regardless of what one do with the rest of the day.
