I am listening while sitting 😅
But I'm listening while standing 😁

However, standing up too much is bad for our health too. We need proper balance.

I have less time to go outside and play sports as I grow up.
A couple of days ago, I went out to help my grandfather work in the field.
I stood up and did physical activity, broke a sweat for the first time in a while. The work was hard, but I was so happy to bathe in the sun and move my feet and arms.
I want to go out and bathe in the sun to keep my good health.
Uzbekistan ❤😁
I know the disadvantages of sitting for a long period of time, but sometimes busy work schedule in an offfice drives me towards sitting down too much.
Thanks BBC ❤
I have some tips for you. First, you stand up and stretch your body in about 20 seconds after an hour of sitting. Then, you might need to have a cup of water and take a deep breath before you're back to work

Terrific ❤
Cho mình hỏi cách nghe như thế nào để được hiệu quả ạ ví dụ như :
1. vừa nghe vừa đọc phụ đề
2. nghe và không đọc
Thanks so much❤
@@hanguyen-pq1eu mình nghĩ có thể nghe lần đầu không đọc -> hiểu sơ, xong rồi nghe lần hai chép lại -> check/đọc
Bày đặt Việt Nam, ai quan tâm?
A few years ago i was sendentary person. i spent a lot of time at home, on cell phone, watching tv and doing activities that didn't require movement. That cause me some problems, but now im healthy person and i excersice every day. I feel Good.

Hello homie. I am also from Uzb.
Hello there! This is a good place to be for learning some English.
I always sit for 5 hours when I am reading books。
I always feel uncomfortable in neck!
It is very useful advice to adpot!
sometimes we have to sit too much because we have no choice. Sitting down for more than 30 minutes makes me feel a bad pain in my lower back.
Standing for a long time is not good for me as well. This video emphasizes the disadvantages of sitting too much.
Thank you for these useful videos. I listened to it 3 times.
Thank you, very helpful and useful in the same time!
I love the way you teach us English, thanks so much for that!
Your podcasts are such a help for those who wrestle with learning. But it could be much more better if you can show the spelling of the words said as vocabulary just to make sure we've written it in the correct way. Thanks you for doing the effort of short lessons
You can use RUclips subtitles to show the words
😊 You can find the transcript of this podcast and a vocabulary list on our website: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/6-minute-english_2024/ep-240404

Thank you . Stagnation of blood in some organs of our body , pooling of blood in lower extremities, developing shortness and stiffness in limb muscles and developing fatigue in axial muscles , poor pastures in neck and shoulders are all disadvantages of prolonged sitting.
So useful as always , thank you 🙏🌸

I'm now a freelancer and online teacher which means that I have to sit in front of the laptop over 7 hours per day. I know that this isn't healthy so I try my best to lead a more active lifestyle by falling in love with Running. Everyday when I get up, the fist important thing I do is to go running around the park for about 5 kilometers. After that, I have breakfast, go home take a cold shower and then start my life. I hope that this solution will help me have a better as well as a more active life.
I think you can use quick videos to show what are you talking about instead of only one image for the whole 6 minutes. That could be helpful for understanding what's going on at the moment.
More video means more cost. Nobody pay for the cost
I agree with you Adam
