The Problem

● We are sitting for too looooooong● We are working looooong hours● We are feeling pressured to deliver all the time● We feel connected all the time ( technology)

● British people sit for 8.9 hours each day● Employed full time work 8.4 hours per day● 1 in 4 workers reported to be highly stressed● Britons spend more time on tech than asleep

Health Risks● Heart Disease ● Diabetes● Obesity● Cancer● Back Ache● Depression● Dementia● Musculoskeletal issues

Solution

● Exercise “ first thing”.......become more active● Take regular breaks - EVERY HOUR● Stretch when your body “ asks”.....● Engage in social contact / interactions / feelings of happiness● Discipline yourself with …..CLEAR BOUNDARIES i.e. stop working at 8pm

and NO TECH in the bedroom
