Or so says an amazingly badly written article in the Chicago Tribune.

Unlike most bad news, this one is best heard standing up: people who sit more than 6 hours a day are more likely to die earlier.

That's even for people who exercise regularly after long sit-a-thons at the office and aren't obese.

That's the sobering news from a new study that tracked more than 100,000 adults for 14 years. Researchers from the American Cancer Society in Atlanta followed 53,000 men and 70,000 women and asked them to fill out questionnaires about their physical activity.

Even after adjusting for body mass index (BMI) and smoking, the researchers found that women who sit more than 6 hours a day were 37 percent more likely to die than those who sit less than 3 hours; for men, long-sitters were 17 percent more likely to die.

Exercise is the key to immortality!

Take frequent laps around the office or outside.

Find an exercise buddy at work and agree to get off your butts several times each day.

While sitting, squeeze your butt: tense your gluteals, hold, and relax

So then the oldest profession is the most healthy.  Prostitutes either stand on the corner or lie in bed and get tons of exercise.
