How often should you take a break from sitting at your desk?

Every 30 minutes. Stand up, stretch, or walk around for at least a minute.

  1. Every 30 minutes ✔
  2. Once every 2 hours
  3. Only on your lunch break

Why: Sitting for long periods slows your metabolism and strains your spine. Frequent, short movement breaks keep blood flowing and muscles loose.

Huh, didn't know that: Using a standing desk helps, but walking around is much better than just standing still all day.

The dad joke
Why did the desk go to the doctor? It had a bad back.
