Get Up! Why your chair is killing you and what you can do about it. by James A Levine, MD

I've read his previous book. This book is entertaining too. It really motivates you to get up from the chair to incorporate movement into your daily life. Like just walk around when you talk on the phone instead of sitting still.

He told stories from his life. I learned that walking for 15 minutes after a meal will help control blood sugar and help prevent fat from forming. He also wrote about offices and schools that incorporated NEAT, Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis http://www.shapefit.com/exercise/burn-calories-neat.html
