- NOTE FROM TED: While some viewers may find this talk helpful as a complementary approach, please do not look to this talk as a substitute for health advice. This talk represents the speaker's personal views and understanding of movement and health. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Move More. Sit Less. addresses desk-bound workers who, between their work and home lives, spend up to 13 hours per day in a sitting position. Dr. Stefan Zavalin proposes that excessive sitting compromises our health, happiness, and longevity. He describes the physiological consequences of excessive sitting on our heart, lungs, digestive systems, and brain functions.
Dr. Zavalin’s idea-worth-spreading is that the answer to prolonged sitting lies not solely in moving more, but in sitting less, especially at work. There are many simple practices that employers and employees can adopt to move more and sit less. These practices require a cultural shift brought about by managers who learn, lead, and lend a hand. This cultural shift will improve productivity, morale, and energy.
Dr. Stefan Zavalin helps companies improve employee well-being and productivity through a culture of moving more and sitting less.

"Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex." Brilliant idea!
Thank you, I will humbly take that title in this specific case.
I had no idea how damaging sitting was. Thank you Dr. Zavalin for making me aware.
My please, as entrepreneurs, your audience is perfect for this talk. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Hello Everyone. Thank you so much for watching this talk. I will be available to answer any questions or comments that you have!
Your Instagram handle? If you share such kinda stuff there too
@@akshitasachdeva9098 just look up the name Stefan Zavalin!
Thank you for showing us the ropes of healthy lifestyle. It doesn't have to be complicated, and it isn't.
Very true, Elena, I am glad the simplicity came across!
Sitting is the new smoking - important we get the word out there to people and businesses, thanks Stefan!
You said it! The more we can spread the word AND lead by example, the bigger the impact.
I had the pleasure to do a Zoom with Stefan today. What a bright individual who truly cares. We need to focus on reducing our sedentary time rather than just increasing our active time. We are designed as humans to do low-intensity work at eight hours a day. Bravo, Stefan.
As a PT myself, this topic really speaks to me. I was highly impressed with his simple yet creative solutions to address the topic at hand. Overall fantastic video!
Always great to have the support of a fellow PT. Thank you Justin!
Such an eye-opening talk, thank you for the insight Dr. Zavalin! Never realized how harmful sitting was until listening to this!
My pleasure Eli! Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Thanks Dr Z for this super polished presentation! Writing this comment lying down XD.
XD been a while since I got called Dr. Z.
Thank you Dr. Stefan Zavalin. You are definitely speaking to me. ....Thank you for sharing simple, practical easy to-do small steps to moving more and sitting less. I constantly sabotage myself thinking, I need to take massive action. However, you've driven home the point that it is small steps taken on a consistent basis that make all the difference.
I am so happy to hear it Dorothea, it applies to everything in life. Most of the lasting changes start out small.
Fascinating stuff! We’re so quick to just say “something’s wrong I need a pill!” or “something’s wrong I need surgery!” So eye opening to take the step back and ask “How do I spend my days and how could that be impacting me?” Love it!
Wise words Michael, something I frequently say to people is "If it took years to get into a state, you can't reverse it in days"
In home health world, I give this advice to literally every single patient. And I hope this philosophy will prevent millions of healthcare problems that we see in patients daily.
Great stuff Dr. Stefan Zavalin, I’ve shared in my home health group on Facebook as well, I hope this continues to spread to the entire world and hopefully change our culture and traditions over time!
Thank you, Shane. I always appreciate the help from a fellow DPT! Also, you look fantastic in that white coat!
Great talk and very inspiring! On the way to moving more and sitting less!!!
I am delighted to hear that Margaret!
Man this right here is basically a testimony for me. I’m one of few ppl who WFH & have a stand/sit desk. Actually same type of one you had at Results. Leaving a comment and definitely sharing w ppl
I appreciate it Andre, glad to hear you are taking care of yourself!
This is so true and accurate. Finding reasons to get up and move helps every part of how I feel during the day. I love the small things we can do like walking around the office, or taking a break to play with pets:)
Madison, I am now possibly ashamed that I did not spend the entire talk speaking about the benefit of movement when playing with pets.... They really are a joy all around!
Stefan, this is a message for most everyone in our modern world. A simple yet profound concept for individuals and organizations. Move more. Sit less. Your talk will change lives and improve our world! Well done, my friend.
Thank you Skip, such kind words. I will work passionately to make sure it changes the world!
Those statistics at the beginning blew my mind. I knew sitting was bad for you, but I had no idea it was THAT bad. Im never sitting down again haha
Thats right Matt! Through away all your chairs! Just kidding.... but sitting really is that bad
A simple and practical idea “move more sit less” with profound impact! Dr. Stefan “lives to give” as he deeply cares about his patients well being. All who view this talk will benefit from it. I have started taking my audio zoom calls while walking 😊! Thank you Dr. Stefan!!
I am delighted to hear that you are moving more Azim! Keep spreading your wonderful message.
Dr. Zavalin you are brilliant!
I love your Alice story. Sadly there are more Alice's out there and I really hope they find this video to help them sit less and stand! This is a simple but genius idea. I am very glad to have seen your video.
Thank you, Anna. Alice's story has always been one that stuck with me from the clinic and I am so happy that you are able to resonate with her!
A phenomenal talk with great energy and a critical mission and mindset for all of us! Move More. Sit Less.
Thank you Nima, fun fact: they had me slow down because I was possibly too energetic in rehearsals XD
Move more. Sit less. So simple, yet it has such an impact. I’m not always great about moving and standing as much as I should, but every time I watch your video or read your book, I hear your voice reminding me of how important it is. Thanks for spreading the message to help out your fellow humans. Definitely something we need to hear and understand to keep our bodies safe as we perform desk work.
Appreciate your hard work and dedication to making the world a better place.
Thank you, Taryn. I am glad the simplicity of it comes across. It does take time and discipline to implement, but important things in life truly are rather simple.
Awesome talk! I spend so much of my day sitting...definitely gonna think more about how to incorporate this advice into my work.
Love it, I'm just happy it could spark the idea!
These stats are eye opening, and the story about Alice is amazing! Great Ted talk
Thanks Jeremy, I am so glad people are liking the story!
Loved the talk Stefan! As a desk bound engineer, I can completely get behind your message of sitting less and moving more. I hope more employers listen to your message and encourage their employees to lead a more active life during working hours.
-Misha Podust
Thank you Misha! I am really pleased that the message resonated with you.
A straightforward concept delivered powerfully. As some of us transitioned away from corporate desks to work-from-home setups, there really are helpful tidbits here to remind us to focus on our posture no matter what the future of work looks like.
Thank you for the insight Anna. I also think it’s important to note that we should not be left alone in this. We are able to support one another and cultivate this culture and support in everyday work and life.
Such a great concept and talk. Thanks for taking the time to speak this into existence, Dr. Zavalin.
Thank you Scott, I love the concept of speaking it into existence. Rather empowering, and I appreciate that.
I love this talk so much. It’s extremely memorable! Sitting is really at the root of our ailments…move more, sit less!!!! Love your acting as well Stefan! :D Bravo!
Thank you Nikita, I will next be auditioning on Broadway.... though perhaps not in NYC just yet :P
So helpful for most of us who “enjoy” office jobs! Thanks, Stefan, for reminding us to care more about our health!
My pleasure Sergey! I appreciate that you can approach it with humor, since that is also vitally important!
This talk is extremely enlightening! I’m changing my life today! Thank you so much. The fact that something so simple can make such a difference is mind boggling! Thank you!
Thank you Janet! I am glad to hear that it resonated.
I literally began standing while watching this! Honestly, my life has gotten pretty sedentary recently and I'm ready to change things... Thanks for the tips! My next goal is going to be ALL meetings conducted standing
I love it Garrett, I sat for 2 Zoom meetings last year, so the goal is definitely achievable (spoiler, I do NOT have a standing desk)
Great information presented in an enjoyable manner. Truly makes one sensitive to this health issue and offers practical tips that are realistic to implement into one's daily life. Dr. ZAVALIN makes me truly want to move more and sit less!
Thank you Amir, I appreciate your kindness and support!
I didn't know how important the TITLE is. "Move More, Sit Less"
I'm glad you noticed Arya! While it is important to move more, it far more important to sit less and those two are not the same thing.
Great presentation! Work place wellness is often overlooked! Best of luck to you promoting this topic going forward!
I appreciate it! Will continue to do the good work!
Very eye-opening! I appreciate all of the insight. There are so many factors in today's world that it's hard to isolate one as a cause for fatigue and brain fog. This is especially true considering, as you said, sitting is so normal in so many settings. Will certainly try to put that standing desk to better use!
Love it, Artem! Can't tell you how many times I have seen companies and individuals buy stnading desks and then fail to actually use them. You got this!
Brilliant talk! Topic of paramount importance delivered perfectly. I am going to stand now eating, playing games and working of course😉.
I love the enthusiasm on all of those, but please sit when you're eating!
Excellent presentation! I remember hearing years ago that it's not good for us to sit so many hours of the day, and while it made sense, I still continued with my same habits. But you do such a great job of driving home the points both in terms of the impact all this sitting is having as well as easy solutions we can implement that I am now motivated to make a change!
I am so glad you enjoyed it, Kate. In truth, all of us need constant reminders when it comes to habits.
Great talk! Very interesting topic and amazing presentation style :)
Thank you Julia! I am glad you enjoyed the presentation.
Great talk! So simple, yet so impactful.
Thank you! I am pleased that the simplicity has come across.
So helpful to hear about small changes to everyday tasks that can make a huge difference long term! Hope many companies take your advice to heart and start incorporating these changes into their culture.
Thank you! I also hope that we can start making more of a change in companies.
Excellent! Very helpful! Thank you you for this useful and doable info! Definitely sharing this with family and friends and on social media! So important!
Thank you Gary! I appreciate the help in spreading the word.
Congrats, Stefan! You are doing amazing things and putting your knowledge and personability to great use.
I love the awareness that you are bringing to this and I'm super grateful you were a guest on the Create Magic At Work podcast sharing more with the listeners. Thank you for spreading this message!
Thank you for the support Amy! It was a pleasure being on your show and I hope that we can both bring more magic into the world!
Great talk! You provide important information in an easily digestible way. It is obvious that you care! I'll be implementing your suggestions.
I'm so happy to hear that Catherine! Start small and then build the habit, most people start too big.
I was getting much fatigue since the Covid has hit and pushed me in work from home environment, keeping me in a chair for most of my day. I’ve read Dr. Zavalin’s recent book and watched this TED talk and everything makes sense. It took a little effort at first to stay out of the chair. But now it’s becoming a second nature - take meetings while standing and swinging dumbbells…
Denis, I might have to add the swinging dumbbells into the next book!
This guy is Fantastic!!! Spot on the best on Ted talks!!!
Thank you, Linda, that is super sweet!!
Definitely trying to incorporate less sitting into my life!! Thank you for all the specific examples 🤓
My absolute pleasure! If you have any specific scenarios feel free to share and we can discuss them to help others too!
Loved the passion you had for this subject Stefan. Im totally with you on standing more. Very inspiring Ted talk
Thank you Christian, the passion is very real. I aim to have a big impact for the better!
Wow, I knew standing was important, but this really drove it home! Also, this was such a well-articulated and well-executed presentation. Public speaking goals 🙌
Thank you, that is some high praise!
Great talk...great advice, especially during a time when we have been staying home more because of the current Pandemic. Moving more becomes very important. Way to get our attention Stephan!
Thank you, Dr. Madeline!
Love this!!! Motion is Lotion. I started walking 10k a day and moving more when I entered peri menopause. It made a huge difference in my symptoms. Now I’m a stepping queen and tell everyone I know about the power of movement and walking. These statistics are crazy! Great talk!
Love your wisdom, Stefan. ❤ You communicate clearly and translate what you know into practical action steps. 😊
Appreciate it, a lot of work went into this.
Brilliant talk. So important to discuss simple measures we can take to increase our health and well-being daily.
Well done Stefan.
Thank you! I appreciate that the simplicity came across.
Loved this talk! It’s really heartening to get reinforcement that there are easy, simple ways to incorporate healthy activity into daily routines. Your advocacy for movement in the workplace is really inspiring!
Thank you Elizabeth! I am delighted to see that so much of it comes across.
Thank you, Stefan for sharing simple, yet effective ways to tap into the benefits of moving more & sitting less at home and, especially at work. Toss & Talk team meetings; Walk & Talk one-on-one meetings and Stand & Talk phone meetings can all make a huge difference! Gratefully, _I.J._
Thank you I.J.! I am so glad you found this information helpful.
Awesome information and beautiful presentation! I fell into the category of exercising a few times a week and thinking it offset my hours of sitting. The stats were very illuminating. I'll definitely be using some of these helpful tips to get moving more throughout my workday!
Thank you, Hope. I am glad to see that people in various exercise categories are resonating with the information!
I really love the idea!💯🙌🏻✨️✨️✨️✨️
Thank you Akshita! Which part resonated with you most?
@@stefanzavalin3991 when you didn't say her that deal with it or something negative to her, you didn't let her loose the belief in herself and boosted her up by suggesting different ways!✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ i swear YO DA BEST!
@@akshitasachdeva9098 that warms my heart, thank you for sharing.
@@stefanzavalin3991 what's your instagram handle?
@@akshitasachdeva9098 The message seems to not be delivered. If you search for my name, you will find the handle.
After so many day, I have got a useful topic. I can relate.
Caitlin, thats great! What was the most relatable part for you?
Excellent topic. Talk of the hour and people should think about it.
Thank you, Keira. I do think this is an important topic for our future as desk jobs become more and more a norm for the majority of people.
Thank you for these recommendations and this amazing Ted Talk! It’s amazing to see how we as therapists can make such an impact on those we are working with by incorporating lifestyle modifications rather than just prescribing simply exercise.
Wise words Dylan, I appreciate the insight you gleamed from this! Thank you for the awesome work you do to help your patients!
Stefan rocks!
Thank you! Next TEDx Talk will be delivered with a Uke Bass!
This is amazing!
As are you Chris, as are you.
Great information. Great presentation. Very informative and well spoken!! Surprised this doesn’t even have 100k views!!! 😩
delighted to see the end result of all of your preparation buddy, and glad to see you were able to keep your sense of humor embedded in there! i, also, may or may not have been standing while watching your stand-inside-a-red-circle-and-talk (?) and typing this haha
I just hope that this talk "stands" out..... depending on your sense of humor.
If you like his Ted Talk you should see him working out. This dude does ice baths at 4am on the daily. Not saying you gotta be hardcore like that, but stand up every now and then. Even better go for a walk. Changing the routine is slow, but thankfully once you get going it gets way easier.
Love it Igor, though I will be honest, the ice baths have seen a decline in frequency.....feels like a challenge I may need to start again.
Excellent content. Hats off doc.
Great information. Thank you!
Awesome! I look forward to taking a listen and notes in the future.
Very good idea! We need more information and talk about it. Thank you.
My please Tatiana, I will keep working hard to spread the word!
Good to See you Stefan. I follow your IG reels. Those are amazing. 🤘🤘
Simon, you have no idea what that means to to me. THANK YOU! I am so happy to help.
@@stefanzavalin3991 I love watching you.
Thank you so much! You are so kind, and i appreciate your intention, you wanted people will live happy and long! It is the most important video what i watch ever. I wish you HAPPY AND LONG LIFE WITH YOUR FAMILY! I want your dreams will come true...)
That is so sweet of you to say Ayelina! The dream will com true with time. Thank you for your amazing words of encouragement and beautiful wishes.
Love this!!
Thank you Christina!
Great advice, looking for a standing desk adaptor now!
Wonderful! You can also do what I do at home and use some old textbooks to prop up your monitor (please don't tell my professors how I'm using their books now)
Great advice! Спасибо!
You are very welcome Mila!
Very insightful, thank you!!
Thank you for watching!
Very informative! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching Samantha!
Superb presentation!
Thank you Julia, it was many months in the making, so I am thrilled that it came out well!
I like it! - sit less 👍🙂Live is in motion!!
Svetlana, I have a part of my presentations where I even say "movement is life and to move is to live"
Very interesting!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Johnathan!
Interesting point that increased exercise is not necessarily the answer, but increased movement and sitting less.
Thank you! I am glad that point came across and stuck.
Yes Stefan. Moving more and Sitting more as well😂😂
Sitting more!? I don't know about that!
@@stefanzavalin3991 When I'm sitting , I forget to move. 😂
@Amber Ashley AH! Yes, that definitely happens 😂
Move more and sit less for your business bottom line and waste line
Love it haha
You hsould've seen the other terrible jokes we had planned for that part haha
Move More, Sit Less. But we are running backwards these days.
I think I know what you mean Rebecca. It does seem that our health is sipping from us.
Sitting is unbelievably harmful
If I could just make one adjustment to that. “Prolonged sitting” is unbelievably harmful. I do T want us to vilify sitting altogether.
Very great talk, thanks so much❤. Our kids got their bad posture and bad shape due to long hours of sitting in front of PC. This talk is gold. I will forward this video to them. Thank you, thank you!!!🎉
