Thanks for posting this dynamite pdf flyer. Great stuff! Brilliant! I’ve been needing something exactly like this for propaganda purposes (unbelievers to whom I’ve been preaching about this sitting problem). THANKS!
PS: great photo. Lookin GOOD, babe, lookin GOOD!
love this!!! Thanks for posting! Makes sense to me!
Thanks Heather! And… I am reading this sitting down of course. Sigh. The woes of our modern life
I love this (and never knew a lot of it!) I work from home and sit at my kitchen bar. I immediately stood up when I read this! Now I just need to find something comfortable to stand on and I can stand more than I sit
Amy – I still have a problem with this… I sit way too much!
Wow, awesome info. FYI, it’s increasingly common for companies to offer standing workstations for office workers. I encourage folks to contact their HR or Health & Safety departments to request an ergonomics audit, then opt for this alternative set up.
I am on the computer all day long. Any one have recommendations on how you can stand and get your computer work done? Wall ipad? Standing desks (is affordable too much to ask here??)? Laptop Wall shelves? pictures and links are welcome.
I remember a while back hearing that sitting on an exercise ball while at your desk was much better for your back and posture. Maybe it would also encourage a person to work on balance and do a little exercising while at the computer. I’m going to try it today at the home computer and see how it works!
Hillary, here is a cheap and easy way to create a work station for the standing desk!
