Foundation Training Helps Counteract the Effects of Sitting

That's a good reminder, LW888. I believe I first read about it in the Daily Sun. Between fixing my bed in the morning, getting dressed, shaving, making breakfast and cleaning up, I think I do pretty good. Cooking steel-cut oats takes about 25 minutes and I will sometimes read the newspaper standing up at the breakfast bar while I'm waiting. I spend a lot of time fixing lunch and dinner too.
The biggest problem is in the evening as I enjoy reading in the comfort of my recliner (aaahhh!!!) But I sometimes get up and do some stretching.
I think the lymph glands have something to do with the health benefits. The lymph fluid only circulates when you move, like walking or stretching. I'll have to remember to do more getting up and stretching.
I should set my portable timer for 10 minutes when I sit down to read! I'm going to try it tonight. Then when the timer goes off I'll do this--->
