Every year on the first Wednesday of May, the American Diabetes Association presents “National Get Fit Don’t Sit Day,” to help spread the word on the dangers of sitting for long periods of time.
Here at Diabetes Education Services we believe creating healthy daily habits is imperative, particularly in the workplace. We will be participating today by doing fun stand up exercises each hour to ensure we aren’t sitting for too long!
We want to hear about your favorite short exercise for your workday. Share your activity by commenting on our Get Fit Don’t Sit Facebook post:

The ADA recommends light physical activity every 30 minutes. Anything from walking to leg extensions at your desk. Help us spread awareness by telling your colleagues and community about National Get Fit Don’t Sit Day!
