Every year, the floor was getting a little further away. That is to say, it became harder to go from sitting on the floor to standing again, so I’d avoid getting on the floor unless the cat belly was particularly enticing.
I decided a few months ago to dig my medtitation cushion out of storage, and convert a small patio side table to a floor-desk for my tablet/keyboard, where I do the bulk of my internet time wasting.
Just this morning, I realized that I’m popping up and down with a lot more ease than when I started, so the floor is now officially at a distance it was at maybe 15 years ago.
Edit: This edit might break the rules, but this is the first post I’ve ever made that included the image of the post in the post.
I think the consensus is that any form of stationary activity–chair sitting, floor sitting, standing–is bad for you if you do too much of it.
Throw a treadmill under your desk and I think you don’t have anything to worry about.
Yeah. Even the treadmill would be the same. You can’t be doing that all day. One thing that was big for me was getting a barstool height office chair. I don’t raise and lower my desk I have a chair that is sized to handle its height. One thing I like with standing is I can stretch and move around a bit when im doing stuff like meetings or learning vids that don’t require kb/mouse. One thing that was big to me is its just so much easier to grab something from the kitchen or use the bathroom. It surprising how much time it takes to lower and raise yourself from the chair. I basically take little chair breaks in my bar height chair. Sometimes fully and longer and sometimes just sort half sitting somewhat leaning against it.
