Adherence

High amounts of sedentary behavior increase the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and incident type 2 diabetes, with evidence graded as strong for these associations.

Sitting for long periods increases your risk of dying early and developing heart disease or diabetes, even if you exercise. To protect your health, try to break up long periods of sitting with light movement throughout the day, in addition to your regular exercise routine.
