All rise!
Constant sitting is plaguing the U.S. workforce, and lawyers, with their abnormally long office hours, are among the professionals affected the worst. All sorts of awful things happen to the human body due to prolonged sitting, which can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.
Personal trainer Jonathan Jordan, at Equinox in San Francisco, enjoys a client base that's about 25 percent lawyers, he said. Clients include lawyers at Nixon Peabody; Keker Van Nest & Peters; and Morrison & Foerster.
