    "It is fair when people say that 'sitting is the new smoking' when you actually start looking at the...hazard ratios for premature mortality. After 8 hours there is this real increase risk of all-cause mortality from sitting time. It starts at 7 hours but really takes off at 8 hours..."

    20:45 Match every hour of sitting with an hour of activity.

    23:10 Standing desks help minimise the risks from prolonged sitting.

    26:10 High levels of stress also add to the negative effects of sitting.

    28:10 The importance of moving after eating a meal.

    30:10 Exercise is medicine.

    31:35 10,000 steps, fact or fiction?

    33:25 Making sure to always get 12,400 steps every single day with no exceptions.

    37:10 Getting in exercise whenever you can.

    39:00 Exercise snacking and its benefits.

    39:50 Use stairs whenever you can.

    41:50 The physiological benefits of daily movement.

    42:55 Exercise affects bone density and brain function.

    45:20 Walk and talks enhancing connections.

    47:20 Dr Tom’s rules around sitting and the Japanese study on standing desks.

    54:15 It’s all about balancing your time sitting, standing and lying down.
