Anyone have some links to studies that show sitting in a chair at your desk is bad for your health?
Someone the other day said that he "heard" that sitting in a chair all day long for years is just as bad for your health as smoking. Not sure I get the correlation, but surely we have enough data points to have several credible studies.
- bmccormack 15y agoCheck out http://juststand.org/ http://juststand.org/. That (and talking with colleagues who stand at their desk every day) motivated me to try standing. Thanks to Fog Creek providing adjustable-height desks for every employee, this was really easy to do. I started with 2 hours each day one week, then 3 hours the next week, etc., until I'm now standing the whole day. I love it.
