Watched the videos while I stood at work. Just got a stand-up desk not too long ago. Good information. Thanks for sharing!

I started Sit Less Boot Camp (SLBC) today. Did my best to walk, even though my feet are killing me (arthritis). Hopefully, the arthritis will subside so I don't need to walk in pain every day! Looking forward to other ideas during this boot camp that can be done when arthritis raises its ugly head!2

I hope you get some relief soon!0 -
I started SLBC today and committed to 5-10min of movement for every 30 minutes sitting. I have Charcot Marie Tooth, today was a very low energy day. That would normally mean getting nothing done around the house besides the absolute minimum of dishes and dinner. Instead I rested, did a very small amount of cleaning, and then rested again. Over and over. My house looks better and I feel like I beat the pain and fatigue today.1

Do you know of an app that will remind one to stand every 30 to 60 mins or so? Loved all the information on the site.1

I watched the videos while standing and walking on the spot. The benefits of just STANDING every 30 minutes amazes me. I can stand, no problem.
Here's something amazing. I am attending Cravings Change classes and the dietitian is familiar with Quitting the Sitting, recommended watching the video 23 1/2 hours and had us stand and move for 1 minute every 1/2 hour.
That's so cool and it was easy.2 -
I am in!

To Cranberry Brook: Do you know of an app that will remind one to stand every 30 to 60 mins or so? Loved all the information on the site.
Try using your watch timer. Set it for every hour...and it will alarm. Just a thought.
Denise: Great videos and poster. I am already sharing these videos with my friends.
Scary thought of losing years of life because of too much sitting. Saw your site too.
I am looking into a Varidesk on Amazon. Working and standing up more.
Thanks for day one. I am running behind but will catch up.

I have an app on my iPhone called Miracle Timer that I use for work to remind me to take a 5 minute break every 30 minutes. I love it. You can set it up with the increments of time that you want. I have it set to 30 minutes desk time, 5 minutes get up and walk and get a drink of water. The countdown is red while I'm working and I have it turn green when I can get up and go.

I think I'm going to set my FitBit to alarm me every 30 minutes. It buzzes the crap out of my arm LOL so great reminder!1

I got Move Your App! very nice. You set it to remind you during a certain time period of the day and then it will also give you the stats for the day as far as active movement and no movement.3

Here's a great one:
I do this all the time. I even walk around my desk, and I have a large desk. Anytime I can get up and move I do it!
