Calorie burning drops to ONE CALORIE per minute. Gah. The enzymes that break down fat drop by 90 percent. After two hours, your good cholesterol can drop by 20 percent.

So what can you do? Exercise. Get up and Move. You can interrupt sitting by just taking a quick walk around. You should also adjust the seat at your desk from 70 or 90 degrees to 135 degrees (leaning slightly back). That way you’re not hunching over your desk all day.
