There's been a slew of articles similar to the one below:

Obviously hiking and biking all day will minimize this, but the goal of both the industrial and tech revolutions is to get a desk job (yes, there are standing desks, but please..)

I can believe that.I quit my desk job in the early 90's and arranged to work from home so I had more time to hike/ski.Around the same time I moved out to the mountains to put me close to hiking/skiing.Today I rarely sit ,if I'm not out hiking/cycling all day I am lounging on my sofa(as I am now)or weight training.

Thanks for posting the article...
