getting uncomfortable within an hour sounds like a lot of interruption and overhead during a full day. I try to concentrate my activity: cycling to and from work, 1 hour workout 3 times a week before or after work. During the day i sit a lot though, but i try to stand whenever i can (meetings, coworker conversations, drinking a lot of water to have to go to the bathroom every 2 hours helps too ;)

Be careful not to drink too much water though, your body needs the salt that gets flushed away :-)

As a 3-4l of water/day type of person I have first hand encountered the lack of salt (cramps while I sleep) and also the solution: add salt to your diet. I makes the food taste nice to boot!

That's pretty rare in the modern world - most people chronically consume too much salt.

This recent (Apr 2017) interview[0] with Prof. Graham MacGregor[1] is really interesting on the topic of salt consumption. He says most people need add no extra salt to their food, relying instead on the small, naturally occurring amounts in the things we eat. I've done exactly this and noticed no ill effects (cramps, etc.).

oooh, I wonder if that's why I sometimes get cramps while I sleep. I feel like if I stretch my legs too much while in bed, I could randomly get a cramp.
