Stories about the health risks of sitting for long periods at work or at home have become more common in popular media. In this course, we'll take a closer look at the science behind these news stories. We'll also talk about various ways to reduce the risk of common chronic diseases, even in situations where our time or opportunities to move around might be limited. Presented by Meredith Luttrell, associate professor of biology, kinesiology.  Register for all BUILD classes using this Qualtrics Form.
