Uhh, yeah, you fucking idiot. Of course standing and sitting is bad for you.

Real health-conscious, creative professionals use treadmill desks

>>58520828

>>58520544
It's a meme sold to upper-middle class yuppies who never had to work an assembly line standing all day.

>>58520828
yeah try coding on a treadmill. only meme jobs like this young lady has at buzzfeed can get away with this

>>58520544
They are, yes. Sitting and standing are both bad for you, but cause slightly different issues. You have to move, shit a fucking treadmill desk would be less of a meme than standing desks.

If you're actually worried about the negative health effects of sitting all day its much better for you to just go for a walk every so often.

So yes, standing desks are a meme

alternate, if you have a desk that can convert from stand to sit

i have my laptop on top of my dresser next to my sit desk until i can afford a decent sit/stand desk. seems to be a pretty good investment.

it doesnt fucking matter what you do

if you have good genetics you can get away with almost anything

of course the opposite is true if you have shit genetics

i think typing would be annoying, but really whenever i'm on the treadmill running my mind seems very sharp and imaginative.

it might really help with working, depending on if your career involves creativity.
but then again you could just go for a walk / run to get the blood flowing and then back to work without the mememill

>>58521753
>whenever i'm on the treadmill running my mind seems very sharp and imaginative
it might seem but it's not true. if it were, we would have evolved differently. running causes more blood to rush into your brain but the areas activated are motor areas. not the forebrain.

whether you stand, sit, or or float in a fucking wind tunnel, staying still for extended periods of time is not good for humans.

>>58521860
pro-tip: it's not "science"

>>58520544

put one foot up on a small platform, swap every few minutes

keep a higher chair nearby that is heavy, so you can lean against it, and occasionally unload your feet

every half hour, physically lay down on your back to unload your weight from your spine -- this is true for any position

once every two hours, at least, walk 5 minutes, including on stairs

laugh all you want, but this, mechanically, has effect

>>58521672

walking is primarily managed by spinal cord sequential processing

if the terrain is constant, the brain doesn't have to monitor the activity that frequently, since it operates in near automation

>>58521908

actually, it is science, but there are human factors that prevent one method from being effective or good for everyone

e.g. a person with balance issues, versus a person with a spinal fusion surgery, versus a blind person, versus an older person with slow reflexes, etc

>>58521115
This. Now the white collar middle class is being made to stand in stalls like cattle to 'increase collaboration' and 'creative synergies'. The real reason is that you can cut the floor space they occupy by a third at least if everyone stands. Next move is to do away with heating and cooling because it'll improve health by toughening up te employees. Which is great because then the company can do away with health insurance!

Standing desk a meme. Look at all the other jobs where people stand the majority of the time - store clerk, Wal-Mart greeter... you see the pattern here...

>>58522240

actually it may be more to reduce health care costs from back problems that develop from sitting too long

as for the other professions, walmart greeters are allowed to sit, and store clerks should get more education and advance to context that is less menial

Rememmber that standing causes your heart to work at a higher rate

You are essentially reducing your life span just for your fucking office job

Don't feed into this industry made lie.

>>58522773

Um, no. It works at a slightly higher rate, which is normal. It's not marathon running. The risks of sedentary lifestyle on cardiovascular health are much higher than "just standing" a few hours a day, so long as you aren't forced to stand for hours on end.

Standing desks are a meme. Use a treadmill desk like I do. I tied a plank to a regular treadmill and it's better than sitting on your ass all day.

Stand up desks aren't a meme unless you fuck it up by standing the whole day. Switch between standing and sitting. The whole point is to change your posture throughout the day so muscles groups and joints don't become weakened by decades of maintaining 1 posture (sitting.)

If your job allows it, add a treadmill to the mix so you're adding even more postures to your day.

>>58522452
Standing fucks up your back and legs. It's far less healthy than sitting all day.

>he thinks standing still is better than sitting

I used to have a folding camping chair when I worked at a garage that I set up next to my toolbox when I had nothing to do

My manager would snag it to sit down when he wasn't busy because they had those stupid standing desks out by the counter

ITT: manlets.

When you're well above the average height, you'll need a fucking standing desk.

Even at normal height, I suppose sitting in a chair 9 hours a day wrecks your spine.

It's definitely possible to ponder on stuff while walking on a treadmill, but switching from just walking and thinking to multitasking isn't going to work if your work requires any real attentiveness.

Also I doubt these treadmill people even add much quality years to their life. Maybe a couple, but that extra time probably matches the time they spent on being a spaz on a treadmill so it's zero-sum.

A millisecondly reminder you'll be dead anyway. Just walk after or before work and you'll get the exercise you need to stay healthy. Preferably walking from place to place rather than being a spaz on a treadmill, but whatever floats your boat.
