sam light Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Too much sitting is supposed to be bad for you. I imagine that laying down too much is bad. Standing is supposed to be good. How many hours do you spend doing each? Laying= 9 hours, broken up some. Standing= Not much now. My old career kept me on feet, the new job is a sitter. Got to work on this point. Sitting= way too much
Nilfiry Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 At work, it is probably 50/50 between standing and sitting. At home, it is about 50/50 between sitting and laying. I do sit too much; although, posture makes a big impact on each. Sitting straight is better for you than sitting slump. If I lay with my body at a 20 degree incline, then I rest better. It keeps my sinuses clear and breathing easy.
truthtripper Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I've heard that it's ok to sit, as long as you don't sit in one stretch for more than one hour. Otherwise, intermittent sitting and walking throughout the day is fine. Although, it is better to be more on your feet than on your bottom.
MrDuck Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Normal working day: Laying = 8 hours. 7 hours sleep at night, probably 1 on the couch in the evening Sitting = 4 hours Standing = Whatever's left
Penguin_hugs Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Standing: around 9 hours (as part of my job), laying: 8-9 hours sleeping and reading before sleep. Sitting for thr rest of the day- either studying, eating or watching tv
