Don't Just Sit There

If sitting is indeed the new smoking, then certainly we should quit. But is sitting really the problem, or is something else going on? Is getting better as simple as kicking over your chair and standing all day—in front of the same computer, under the same fluorescent lighting—or is there something more to be learned from the data about how people work best?
