  This is gonna sound silly but, I never sit in chairs normally unless I'm being watched. I've presently got one leg folded under me, and the other tucked up, so I'm not sitting on my ass, I'm sitting on a shin and a foot. And I will probably move in a couple minutes. Is that the same as "Sitting on one's ass", or..?

  That's not what the article says. The article is about the health risks of a sedentary lifestyle, which means a lot of sitting with limited physical activity. But even as little activity as 60-75 minutes of brisk walking per day seems to be enough to compensate. It also mentions that watching TV is worse than more active forms of sitting, such as office work.

  i grew up in rural areas around West and North Texas, every single person and relatives i knew that worked in those hard, labor intensive jobs, had bad knees and backs by the age of 55 and were basically crippled by retirement age.

    Yep. Now if you had to choose between bad joints or an inactivity-induced coronary a couple decades early, which way would you go?
