And while I agree that Americans, in general, live a life style that is too sedentary to be healthy, how is reading any less sedentary than watching television? While the weather is improving around the nation, it would make more sense to me that people replace their television watching time with more physical activities or by spending more quality time with their children.

Does that count as non-sedentary reading? (The cord was too short to take the TV up with me) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Sedentary #142200 05/04/2005 8:46 PM Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 96 Illinois amnow journeyman amnow journeyman Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 96 Illinois We've talked about reading while walking...not very vigorously, of course!
