Summary

I've got one problem with the whole "sitting is the new smoking" movement.

There's a lack of practical solutions for how to fix what happens to your body when you sit, how to structure your workday to minimize the damage of sitting, and how to make your body bulletproof to the issues with sitting.

So in today's podcast, I interview physical therapists Chad Walding and Brenda Walding, authors of the new book "The Sitting Solution: How To Save Your Spine, Body & Life." During the interview, Chad and Brenda discuss what happens to your body when you sit, why standing may not be the best solution, how to fix the issues that happen to your body when you sit, and the unique set of problems facing athletes who sit.

Below is a sample screenshot from The Sitting Solution that shows how you could easily structure your workday using the techniques we talk about in this episode: screenshot_904
