A new study says even if you exercise regularly, sitting for three hours or more can take years off your life.

This final note today. The first and last you will hear on this program about the current rage of standing desks. They’re catching on like wildfire here at Marketplace Global HQ.

Just for the record, by the way, I do this radio program standing up.
