So, for years I have stood at baseball games, cheer practices, or basically anywhere I am waiting on something or somebody. People will always nicely offer me a Would you like to sit down? to which I answer, Oh, no thank you, did you know standing burns a 100 calories more per hour than sitting? I think my answer is usually met with a polite nod and 1/2 smile and Im pretty certain they think Im either cray-cray, OR they are just plain annoyed with my calorie-burning answer. Ive noticed NOBODY ever pops up out of their seat and says, OHHHHH, well in that case Ill stand with you. Not once, ever. Another big reason Id rather STAND than SIT is because I get TIRED sitting and who wants to get TIRED??? So, anyways, annoyed with me or not, read this article - pretty fascinating stuff on how making some little changes of standing at your kids practices, games, or what-not, could lead to some pretty great health changes and possibly a longer life :) bbc/news/magazine-24532996
