What about sitting without chairs? Like squatting, or seiza, or legs crossed? Those are sort of active(-ish) forms of sitting.

- vishalontheline 2y agoI recently swapped out my office chair for a coffee table. It allows me to sit without back support in a variety of positions - cross legged, feet on the ground, sometimes with my hands supporting me.. even hunched over if I'm being a bit lazy / sucked into whatever is happening on screen. The results have been almost instantaneous - back feels stronger, I'm not as stiff overall - general mobility and flexibility is better. Took a week or so to get used to. Initially I wanted to get up and go find a couch a lot. Now I can sit for hours, but like you mentioned - with the small movements - it's never totally sedentary.
- elric 2y agoI wonder if all those ergonomic chairs are a mistake. I mean they sure all comfortable, with all the support everywhere, but I'm beginning to think they might be worse for you than a plain old wooden chair.
