Exercise Alone May Not Offset Damage From Sitting All Day, Expert Warns

Experts say prolonged sitting is a health risk on its own, even for people who exercise regularly.

Frequent short movement breaks every 30 to 60 minutes may help reduce metabolic and circulatory strain.

The warning is especially relevant for office workers and others with desk jobs, where sedentary time is common.
