From the codirector of the Mayo Clinic/Arizona State University Obesity Solutions Initiative and inventor of the treadmill desk comes a fascinating wake-up call about our sedentary lifestyle.

That the average adult spends 50 to 70 percent of their day sitting is no surprise to anyone who works in an office environment. But few realize the health consequences they are suffering as a result of modernity's increasingly sedentary lifestyle, or the effects it has had on society at large. In Get Up!, health expert James A. Levine's original scientific research shows that today's chair-based world, where we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negativeconsequences on our health, and is a leading cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Over the decades, humans have moved from a primarily active lifestyle to one that is largely sedentary, and this change has reshaped every facet of our lives - from social interaction to classroom design. Levine shows how to throw off the shackles of inertia and reverse these negative trends through simple changes in our daily lives.

The information presented was very interesting and relevant, but the interspersed personal stories sometimes didn't seem to have any connection to the main point of a given section.

Entertaining and informative, sometimes meandering

Levine provides a compelling argument to increase non-exercise movement throughout your day. Though I probably won't get a treadmill desk, I am definitely spending more time on my feet and out of my chair!

Had to listen in sections as I stopped to contemplate what I was hearing.

Very informative and great voice.

I liked the story and the message and the data very much. To reduce the awkwardness of the halting cadence of the performer, I listened at 1.3x playback speed.

I'm already using a free activity monitor on my smart phone, and ordered an inexpensive laptop tray for my desk so I can get up!

Easy, actionable advice!

I didn't expect to like the book as much as I did. I mean, how much can you say about sitting? Turns out, a lot, backed by fascinating research. That Dr. Levine surely is an interesting character!

Fascinating topic

I love audiobooks and fall asleep listening to them every night. After the first chapter I though, good Lord is this going to be boring. I awoke during the night and found the data he was presenting was extremely interesting. I mean, who can talk for eight hours telling you to get out of your chair?
I restarted the book in the morning and could not put it down till it was done. The statistics were presented in an enlightening fashion. The amount of dedication to keeping children and adults healthy, happy, and enjoying life was demonstrated time and time again by this author’s experiments and data in proving chairs are a real life danger to our health and lifespan!
If you find yourself bored with the first one or two chapters skip them, but don’t stop listening, it can literally save your life.

I wasn’t going to finish this book
