Was your curiosity piqued by some fencing in Grand Canal Dock yesterday Monday 24th September 2018? This was erected by the Irish Heart Foundation, who are working this September to raise awareness of the negative health impacts of sitting down for long periods of time.
The Irish Heart Foundation is encouraging people to sit less and stand, walk or move more, especially if you spend most of your day sitting down, like many office workers here in Grand Canal Dock. They’ve created a handy online sitting calculator to help you figure out how long you spend sitting down and a host of tips and advice on how to work more standing and movement into your day.
For more information and to try out their sitting calculator, check out the campaign website: www.chairscankill.ie.
