By Heather Ervin, ThrottleNet

According to a poll of nearly 6,300 people by the Institute for Medicine and Public Health, it is possible that the average person spends about 56 hours a week sitting (usually at a computer, in a car or watching TV). I'm definitely guilty of it all. I'm planted in front of a computer all day and by the time I go home, all I want to do is veg out in front of my big screen and relax. Sound familiar?
