Episode notes

The speakers discuss the importance of avoiding prolonged sitting and being sedentary, even after a workout. They mention a study that compared the outcomes of one hour of workout, six hours of standing, and 14 hours of sitting, and found that the group that stood and walked at low intensity for longer had better results. The speakers also talk about the benefits of incorporating movement breaks throughout the day.
