I think we've heard this before now|: Stand Up: Your Life Could Depend On It ScienceDaily (Mar. 27, 2012) — Standing up more often may reduce your chances of dying within three years, even if you are already physically active, a study of more than 200,000 people published in Archives of Internal Medicine shows. The study found that adults who sat 11 or more hours per day had a 40% increased risk of dying in the next three years compared with those who sat for fewer than four hours a day.

Good stuff.

Someone shared this on Facebook the other day.  While you might wonder about the safety of the kid - that is a big fall - it is amazing to watch pure natural movement

BroScience is a term used by some bodybuilding communities: Broscience is the predominant brand of reasoning in bodybuilding circles where the anecdotal reports of jacked dudes are considered more credible than scientific research. A sarcastic term implying that the time tested, muscle building wealth of knowledge developed and utilized by successful, experienced bodybuilders is inferior to the continually shifting hypotheses of articulate, textbook-savvy 155lb. chemists with little or no real world first-person experience to substantiate their conclusions. The term "Broscience" is oft repeated on bodybuilding and fitness oriented internet forums in an attempt to demonstrate online dominance as a substitution for success in the arena of actual bodybuilding. There is even a site called Broscience.com   which highlights how science conflicts with popular myth in the bodybuilding world. I think there is some similar stuff in the paleo world.....Palebro science perhaps.  Pe...
