Hoeher added, "This study yields new information about biological outcomes and commuting distance, an understudied contributor to sedentary behavior that is prevalent among employed adults.”

The Fox News article concludes with quotes from Dr. Hoeher about employers and providing flexibility of work schedules to accommodate better health of their employees: “Work sites can play a role by allowing more flexible in and out times so people can drive to work outside rush hour, or they can allow physical activity breaks during the day."

"Or if it’s possible for people who live closer to work to walk or bike, there’s been health benefits associated with active commuting."

She concludes with, “You can’t tell people to move. But the main message for people who live a long way from work or sit at work: Find ways to build physical activity into you day or break up your sitting times.”
