I thought this was a funny take on how health-related science is usually presented. www.slate.com/.../the-machines-your-bodies-do-not-care-whether-you-use-them-sometimes-or-not.aspx

    Unfortunately, the fact that compartmentalized excersize had little to no impact on heart risk rates for the majority of office/sedentary workers was frightening. I could be wrong but I don't think that is what the research showed. I think the research showed that even if you exercise regularly you will be at increased risk due to excessive sitting relative to someone who exercises regularly and doesn't sit a lot. Someone who sits excessively and exercises will still benefit relative to someone who sits excessively and doesn't exercise regularly.
