I am a writer and I sit for as much as 12 hours a day with very small breaks. I have no side effects from all of the sitting I do. I am as nimble and flexible as I when I was 20.  Before I tell you my secret, I will tell you something most people don't know about me.  Most people think I am in my 50's... I turned 70 last month.  

The reason I don't look or feel as old as I am is not because of diet or exercise, it is because of the on-going conversations I have with my body...  Here is my secret:

When I stand up after sitting for a long time, I spend 60 seconds talking to my body (sometimes longer), lavishing love upon it.  I let it know how much I appreciate it staying healthy while I am sitting and writing all day long, day in and day out.... After thanking it and lavishing love upon the cells of my body, I ask the cells of my body to forgive me for not exercising more. I then PAUSE and LISTEN to my body. 

I listen not by thinking but OBSERVING the sensations coming off my body..... By OBSERVING my bodily sensation they automatically translates themselves into words I can understand.  Sometimes my body will tell me to take a short five minute walk, sometimes it will tell me to drink more water. sometimes it will tell me to research something about talking to my body more effectively, sometimes, it will intuitively lead me to find healthy herbs or Vitamins that will support me sitting for hours on end. That's my secret. By the way, your body will never talk to you with a critical voice nor will it ever judge you in any way.
