    Fiiine, for how long do they want me to stand before I can sit down again?

    They found that every additional hour people spent sedentary each day was associated with a 10% higher risk of cancer death, while interrupting sedentary behavior with bouts of activity lowered risk: by 12% for an hour of light physical activity; 8% for 30 minutes of moderate physical activity; and 22% for just five minutes of vigorous activity.

    So 5 minutes of pushups every 2 hours?
