Episode notes
Standing vs. Sitting
- Standing all day can be worse for your spine than sitting.
- Gravity constantly stresses your body, and standing can lead to leaning and poor posture.
Optimal Sitting and Standing
- Alternating between sitting and standing can be more beneficial than either alone.
- Try shorter intervals, like sitting for an hour and standing for 10 minutes, to avoid fatigue.
Chair as Orthotic
- A well-designed chair can act as a passive posture trainer.
- It helps improve posture over time, similar to how an orthotic changes posture gradually.
