Fidget Fidget
Maybe now teachers will stop telling students like me to “sit still”!
The most detailed study ever conducted of mundane bodily movements found that obese people tend to be much less fidgety than lean people and spend at least two hours more each day just sitting still. The extra motion by lean people is enough to burn about 350 extra calories a day, which could add up to 10 to 30 pounds a year, the researchers found.
I’d say more, but I’ve got to go fidget.
