New BBC article illustrates need for standing more at work

Here is an excellent new article from BBC about the benefits of standing more during work day, it is a nice dove-tail into our sit-stand WorkFit product launch for Apple. Here is a powerful quote... "If you stand for three hours a day for five days that's around 750 calories burnt. Over the course of a year it would add up to about 30,000 extra calories, or around 8 lb. of fat. "If you want to put that into activity levels," Dr Buckley says, "then that would be the equivalent of running about 10 marathons a year. Just by standing up three or four hours in your day at work."

It reminds me of the illustration I created for an earlier doc on the benefits of standing.
