Aren't you alarmed yet! As per WHO, nearly 2 million deaths are attributed to sedentary lifestyles, also labelled as 'Sitting Disease' or 'Couch Potato Syndrome'. Sedentary behaviour refers to a sitting or lounging state, like sitting in a car on your way to work, sitting in meetings, or watching TV on the couch for an extended amount of time. It is defined as 'waking behaviour' characterised by an energy expenditure less than or equal to 1.5 Metabolic Equivalents (METS) while sitting, lying, or reclining.
