We know sitting all day is bad for us, increasing our risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. But you can counteract the negative effects of sitting eight hours a day by getting in an hour of exercise. And any time you can find during the day to throw in some extra movements is a bonus!
So after dinner, instead of plopping yourself on the couch while bingeing on episodes of This is Us, get up and do this quick 10-minute bodyweight workout.

Squat with a side leg lift (30 seconds per side)
