Guild Wars 2

let’s globally move chairs aside, then buy a high table you can stand and use computer at.
if you become tired from standing you can use a higher chair to recover and then stand again.
this will improve everyone’s leg health and chances to outrun bandits at night after a bar trip. of course people that can’t stand have to sit instead. but those who are able to stand and walk, don’t you want to get rid of that itching in your knees?

also, to people who work in offices etc. there would be no need for excercises once in a while and crazy ladies who complain about 50 year old men’s working position (legs on table) can calmly drink their tea during every break, yes it’s possible.

in the long run standing is better than sitting. probably even healthier. i hope some kind of scientist will see this and prove it. and put it on magazine, and then it would become a trend.

because sitting is more of an illness, really… you sit in school, you sit at home, and then you sit at work too. pls.

share your thoughts on this.

They’re called “standing desks,” and the research has already been done and proven: sitting for 8 or more hours a day is unhealthy, regardless of whatever other physical activity you do throughout the day. Great news for me, as I type this from my chair at the office, nearly 7 hours into the workday…

“Sitting is one of the worst positions for the body to maintain. After just 20 minutes hunched over in a chair, blood pools in the legs and immense pressure builds on the spine. Now, imagine the effects of sedentary workdays gaming long term.”

Standing’s not great either though. Far better to be on all fours.
