Prolonged sitting harms even people who exercise, and short breaks blunt it.
The Harm
Reduced glucose handling, higher cardiovascular risk and muscle loss with long uninterrupted sitting.
The Fix
A 2–3 minute movement break every 30–45 minutes largely cancels the metabolic effect; daily activity targets do the rest.
Practical Tools
Standing calls, walking meetings and the Pomodoro rhythm all work.
