Stay on your feet!
Standing up is a natural position and is the main characteristic of the human being. But many people spend the majority of their time sitting (at work, in the car, at home) and lying (sleep).
If you have a limited time for a workout, the best bet is to target exercises you stay on your feet!
If you go for a walk or a run, great! But this is not always the case when you go to exercise in a gym: many machines and exercises are from sitting or lying position!
You are losing most of your time! Stand up and work all the muscular chains. Just choose some basic exercises like squats, lunges, step ups and build your workout around them.
Sure it is more difficult but you’ll burn more calories and will get in shape quicker. The legs have to be trained over and over, don’t be lazy! Do not forget that the legs become old first!
Another strong benefit in standing exercises is you work your core muscles to stabilize your spine.
Now I don’t mean to avoid all others exercises, but I strongly believe by experience that you should have your main exercises in the standing position. You’ll get a better workout, you’ll build up a more functional body, you’ll get more energy.
If you are limited in time, focus on standing exercises, it’s far more effective.
So do not forget for your next workout, stand up!

This is so true... your legs go bad real quick if suddenly you don't use them as much, and, if you are on them a lot, you will notice great differences in posture and strength... great article as usual....
