Sitting is a work reality. Unbroken sitting is the part you can nibble at without a catalogue of ergonomic gear.
Frequency over furniture
Research on sedentary time keeps returning to breaks. A cheap timer or the end of a meeting is enough. Standing in discomfort for two hours is not a personality improvement.
- Stand to take phone calls
- Fill your bottle on another floor
- Stretch calves while a file exports
Standing is not a workout
Repeat until they are boring. Boring is the goal.
You still need walks and strength work. Think of sitting breaks as joint oil, not as calorie math. If your job is already on your feet all day, the healthy move may be sitting with good support when you finally can.
