(And Use It to Do This Fat-Blasting Butt Workout)"},"content":{"rendered":"
On any given day, you probably find yourself sitting way too much. Many of us sit behind a desk all day at work then park our butts in front of a laptop or TV for a few more hours when we get home.<\/p>\n
But did you know that a mountain of research shows that too much sitting is bad for your health? Studies have linked long periods of sitting to a slower metabolism, more fat storage, and a higher risk of diabetes<\/a>, heart attacks<\/a>, and even cancer<\/a>. (And that's true, even if you spend your non-sitting hours at the gym<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Of course, you can do something about this. Give yourself a break! Get up and get moving! It's thought that taking breaks may counteract the dangerous effects of prolonged sitting.<\/p>\n So the next time you feel like kicking back, turn your chair into a great workout tool instead.<\/p>\n Start with one of our favorite butt-blasting moves:<\/p>\n 1. Make sure you use a firm, sturdy chair (not an office chair with wheels!) that can be secured against a wall.<\/p>\n 2. Prop one foot against the front of the chair, as if you’re pushing the chair against the wall. Give yourself a good, wide stance. This is important for correct alignment through the completed move.<\/p>\n 3. Lower yourself down into a lunge position, making sure that your knee stays aligned over your ankle. Repeat 10-15 times and then switch to the other leg.<\/p>\n 4. Bonus! If you want to turn this into a fat-burning drill, add in a 30-second interval of your favorite cardio moves<\/a>–like jumping jacks, jogging in place, and squat-jumps–before switching legs.<\/p>\n The more quickly you move and transition between the lunges and cardio intervals, the more effective this mini-workout becomes.
