How Much Exercise You Need to Make Up for Sitting on Set All Day

Date:

Here’s how much exercise you need if you’re sitting around all day.

It’s no lie that working as an actor requires a lot of sitting around. You are either waiting for your next scene to start, or the grips to set up the camera for a scene, it doesn’t matter if you’re an extra or an actor, you are going to sit around for a long time.

Unfortunately, sitting for long periods of time can be damaging to your health. If we are not active enough, sitting can even lead to death. In fact, according to a 2012 study, 5.3 million people die each year due to inactivity. In addition, a 2014 Mayo Clinic study found that every hour you sit reduces the gains of your daily workout by eight percent.

However, a new study suggest that an hour a day of moderate exercise is twice the amount of exercise recommended by the World Health Organization but, enough to keep you healthy.

Researchers monitored a group of people and found that those who were sedentary for eight hours a day, yet countered this with an hour of physical activity, had a much lower risk than those who maybe didn’t sit for as long a period, but were not as physically active.

That suggests it’s not the sitting, it’s the exercise that is the most relevant factor.

Ultimately, the general rule of thumb, as researchers succinctly advised: “Sit less and move more, and the more the better.”
