I’m going to start standing-sitting while working. Got a desk that can do it. Was curious how it has affected other people.

    Walking makes a huge difference.

    I average around 14,000 steps a day, and the health benefits to your heart, lungs, joints, and back can’t be overstated.

      Can you elaborate on the specific benefits you saw? Did you notice anything in terms of health metrics? Resting heart rate, HRV, blood pressure, watch sleep quality, etc.? I need some motivation to overhaul my desk setup lol.

        For me, the biggest benefits have been:

        • Significantly-reduced lower back pain
        • Better sleep, and I fall asleep more easily
        • Mood. (Note that it only takes 20 minutes of activity to get endorphins flowing)
        • I don’t get winded as quickly climbing stairs.
