- Can't use workouts to make up for our sitting unless they are at least 1 HOUR LONG, VERY INTENSE and done EVERY DAY.
- Join the ranks of millions in society who let the computer rule their quality of life and future health status.

QUICK QUIZ: True or False?
You don't know how to simultaneously work at the computer
AND protect your future from health risks related to long hours of sitting.
Let me guess. You've tried every fix you can think of, like:
- Walking meetings
- Impossible workout schedules
- Expensive desk treadmills
- And more.
But these piecemeal solutions quickly fall to the wayside for all but the most motivated. You need a way to stick with a regular plan that has been clinically proven to work.
