Ever heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking?” Let’s take a moment to look closer at what’s really going on 👀
Do: Recognize that you’ve done a good thing. Standing desks are great but they are also making your body “work” and it’s imperative that you stretch out at the end of your day much like you would after a walk or a run. Don’t think that standing is entirely passive.
Don’t: Radically change. If you have a desk chair, continue to use it just make sure you stand up and walk around regularly. If you have a standing desk, awesome. Please walk around to circulate your blood, stretch throughout the day and roll your feet and calves.
No matter what it is just continue to seek movement throughout the day and not static positions.
