You've probably heard that sitting is the new smoking, and to a certain extent, it's true. If you find yourself sitting down for 3-4 hours every day, it's not going to do wonders for your health.
According to research published in the Journal of Lifestyle Medicine office workers who sit for long periods can end up feeling more tired during the day, feel less satisfied in their job, experience higher blood pressure, and physical discomfort or pain in areas like the shoulders, lower back, thighs, and knees. Prolonged sitting can even lead to things like dead butt syndrome, where your glutes forget their role and stop supporting your back and pelvis.
