Step 3
To stay healthy, you need to stay active, day in and day out. The more sedentary your job, the more you may need a fitness program that can help counteract the harmful effects of sitting for hours on end. Studies of college alumni, longshoremen and British civil servants conducted over periods of up to 20 years have shown that those men who were more active, either at work or during their leisure time, had lower rates of heart disease and certain types of cancer than their less active counterparts. These same studies have also shown that even activities that require only moderate exertion, such as gardening, can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease when they are performed regularly. If you get through most workdays without much physical exertion, quick workouts can compensate for your lack of on-the-job exercise.
