MANILA, Philippines – Sit on this: How many hours in a year do you spend sitting?

For many people with office jobs, the number would be in the thousands. It would amount to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 52 weeks in a year (Editor’s note: We earlier wrote 72 weeks. We regret the error).

Between sitting and lying down, the amount of time spent standing up seems to be on the bottom rung – all the more reason to pay attention to our posture. With the new year coming in, it may be time to say goodbye to our bad sitting habits.

In this video, the people from Team Fliki tell us why it’s important to take a hard look at our posture and what we can do to improve it. See what exercises you can do in between breaks and how you can possibly be active while you’re on your chair.
