Children learn very quickly that sitting at a desk will occupy a great deal of their time as they get older. We sit at a childrens desk to study and learn with school materials, and to work in an office. We even sit on a table to eat. According to scientists who study the effects of too much sitting, people spend an average of 9.3 hours sitting a day. The total time we sit on a desk can total up to 5 years of our lives.
