The dangers of standing for too long are actually well documented. There's a reason we default to sitting. Sitting too much is certainly not good. But neither is standing for too long. Walking is a much better activity when on your feet. When you stand still, your legs lock up, and it's just really hard in your joints in the long term. There's a reason you weren't able to complete the week. You were damaging your joints by standing so much.

Being someone who deals with bow legs (where the tibia and Femur are curved outwards) since birth, (age 20) what you went through in 5 days sums up what i deal with everyday when it comes to the knee pain. It's bc of the cartilage between the bones wearing down over the years and it's basically bone rubbing each other for me, hence the pain. So my doctor recommended that i actually sit more then stand daily. For anyone that wants to know how it feels to be bow legged. This video sums it up.

A golden tip for anyone using a standing desk: Get a stand mat as well. 💯 You don't think it is needed, but even if you stand on carpets, it makes a huge difference in your knees and feet! But this was actually super interesting! I think the pain and posture problems you have was because this was an 'extreme' change from what your body is used to (as you mentioned yourself). If you build up slowly over time, as you plan to do forward, you will likely experience that you can stand for a longer period at a time, with less impact. The weight gain was probably because you were snacking more than you were burning off. ☺ I think the mental aspect actually affect the pain and posture as well. If there is something to do (housework, workouts, walking somewhere, etc.), you can better focus on the task rather than the body. But when you have gotten everything done, your mind starts to wander, to find something to focus on. The things we have learned are 'relaxing' are very related to sitting. So when we suddenly can't 'relax', we hyper focus on how sore and tired the body is, and keeping a good posture (especially standing still) becomes even harder. It would probably be good to have some standing solutions for relaxation as well; they are just not very common in most homes.

I have been standing since June of this year. Over the last year I got Sciatica in my left leg from sitting too much. Literally my hobby and job are sitting. I probably sat for 6-12 hours a day. But since it started really hurting and ruining everything in my life, I started standing all the time (Other than pooping and driving, which are painful). I feel this guy's experience but so much more. The first month was all about pain in the surface of my feet and knees and being tired all the time. After that, my feet callused up so much that i wasn't ticklish in my feet anymore as it visibly thickened up. I also couldnt feel much through them for a while as the nerves hadn't developed. It felt like I had meat slippers on until recently... where the pain returned to say hello. I also noticed that my heart rate significantly decreased. From 70ish BPM at rest sitting (measured at the doctor's for many years) to 50ish BPM at rest standing (measured at the doctor's now). Although not much weight change nor do I feel physically better. As a note, I exercise at the gym and hike regularly, eat 3.2kCal a day, 195lbs, 6'6" (big body with tons of spine leverage that hits hard during standing). Overall, I dislike almost all of it. Sitting freaking rules and standing all day sucks. It makes me unproductive, tired, in pain, and sore in my butt every day. Like everything in life, strike a balance so you don't end up like me with Sciatica at 29 yrs old. I am still working on my Sciatica pain with a PT and hoping to poop in peace some time soon. #realLifeGoals

More lean and ripped. Joints and back feel better (retired military, so I have some damage). I made a standing desk and got an “under desk treadmill.” I also go on hikes/ walks to accomplish my challenge. Walking is way better than standing, as you can not sink into your joints. I normally keep a good pace, around 4 mph. However, when I’m typing like now, I walk much slower, around 1.5. I would not recommend jumping right into it. Start with 5 or so sets a day. However, I know you won't.

It can feel good to stand up while doing things but it's also nice to be able to sit down once in a while. Going from only sitting to only standing is extreme, so it's quite possible that you've overexhausted your leg and foot muscles. A healthy amount of standing, walking, etc, is of course good. A few years back, I was on a week-long vacation that ended in me walking 10-15 kilometers every day. Not especially fast, wasn't meant like exercise, it's just that the place where we stayed was a bit outside of the place where the fun stuff happened, so we ended up doing a few of those walks each day and by the end of the week...my back felt amazing! My back felt strong, my posture felt better than it had been in years. And then I went home and stopped walking such distances. But yeah...would be good to keep doing that. So it doesn't have to be exercise, like doing it fast, rough, get sweaty...just do it and it will provide amazing results.

Like the effects of distance cycling or marathon running, all the blood coagulating in your lower extremities is what actually causes the pain. Had you laid down on your back, with your legs at a 90 degree angle up against a wall for maybe 3 to 5 minutes, you could have reversed that blood flow and alleviated most of that pain you were feeling later in the day. Doing that inversion every two hours or so would most likely have gotten you to a happy place with this experiment, instead of where you landed. Have been watching your videos for some time now and LOVE your dedication to your purpose and the scientific way you approach your experiments. Absolutely stellar work. However, just remember that pain for the sake of pain might flaw an otherwise remarkably informative endeavor, like why conscious standing is far better than unconscious sitting. Thanks again for the video.

I work a desk job from home and a few years ago, I switched to standing of most of my day and it truly changed my life. Sitting was really taking a toll on my body. I also burn about 300-400 more calories per day by standing vs sitting.

I'd rather go for an hours' moderate bike ride to burn those calories. I mean that's 10 days of sore feet to burn a pound, and after carbohydrate refeeding (as you body also burns sugar that is simply hungered for and wanted to be eaten back) it could be closer to a month.

This is what I felt working at retail with overtime hours for the holidays (aka up to 10-12 hours, and I've been working 3-5 days for the past few months prior). The first few hours of the day never felt "bad," but rather normal, as anyone would go about their day. However, when the last half or few hours came in the day, especially after lunchbreak (even when I would spend it sitting the whole hour I got), I would feel incredibly exhausted. I also felt the need to either constantly move (otherwise, too much pressure build-up) or rest by leaning on something (to relieve pressure). It was simply never-ending leg pain, especially in the calves/ankles. I wouldn't accomplish much in my time spent not working because of how tired/sore I'd be. I will say that my feet didn't really hurt much after I changed shoes to something more comfortable (aka nicely cushioned loafers). Any pain/pressure I would experience was relieved once I sat down for a bit, so it wouldn't bother me when I went to bed. What did bother me was my legs feeling like *logs,* for lack of a better word, because they made me feel that uncomfortable sleeping, interfering with a good night's rest. Akin to restless leg syndrome except without the energy lol. I found that investing into an arch pillow, to prop my legs upward at a sloped angle when sleeping, helped a ton, as it allowed for better blood circulation and a release of pressure. Wasn't always perfect because I'd, on occasion, kick off the arch pillow, or sleep on it weird, but anything is better than nothing lol. Oh, I almost forgot, but since I live with my boyfriend, it helps to have someone massage your legs to improve circulation too. It is possible to do yourself obviously, just a lot easier for someone else to do it. :P Gotta make sure to recover those muscles and joints! So, if anything to learn from this comment section for standing a substantial portion of the day: 1. Wear comfortable shoes (cushioning is up to your preference) 2. Keep moving your legs while standing when possible 3. Sleep with an arch pillow to prop up your legs 4. Massage your legs And, of course, 5. Take breaks from standing if possible (Bonus! 6. If applicable, use a standing mat when you stand in one spot/area to reduce the force gravity brings to your body!) Despite what anyone says, humans aren't made to stand all day, nor to sit all day, so strike a balance with whatever suits your lifestyle/work for maximum posture, health, and recovery! :)

As someone with a disability not being able to stand for long periods of time I found this interesting. It is very annoying when people tell me I should walk more or stand more like… I’m sorry my body doesn’t work the same so I wouldn’t be getting the same benefits. I actually move A TON when I sit and lay. I also move like crazy when I stand to maintain the blood circulation. Honestly I continue to think about how long I’ll be standing and everything I can get done in that time so I can sit/lay sooner. I am able to walk more and stand more but I have to maintain my little habits to actually remain standing. Life of POTS is something special and still not fully understood despite it not being as rare as people think

Your after posture is better than the before actually... you're just not holding in your tummy as you should be... when babies crawl they rub their belly on the floor and after awhile they learn to pull in their tummy so it stops rubbing... they maintain this as they start to walk and grow. It's engagement of the TA (transverse abdominis). People tend to lose this ability to maintain TA engagement as they start sitting a lot, thus making standing/squating more difficult. Because you were standing sooo much (props, well done haha) without having this engaged you developed forward lean of the hips but actually a great curve in your spine (pelvic anterior tilt, lordosis Lx and kyphosis Tx (S curve spine)) Meaning your vertebrae were decompressed for the most part. The L4-5 - Sx (sacrum) would have some compression due to the hypotonicity of your intra-abdominis muscles. Pay close attention to your plum line when comparing: Before- -Ear in line with shoulder (but lower Cx is kyphotic compared to after) -Shoulder behind greater troc (misalignment, +scapula retracted instead of neutral) -Greater troc in front of ankle (misalignment, +PPT) (Also it appears in your hamstrings are tighter here and more weight is in your toes) After- -Ear slightly behind shoulder (lower Cx looks relaxed and traps hypertonicity reduced) -Shoulders slightly in front of GT (The forward rounding of your shoulders is not coming from your spine, but an imbalance muscularly in your teres minor/infraspinatus relative to your pecs, lats, teres major, subscapularis) **overall these two have improved in terms of spinal alignment, and has clearly demonstrated your imbalance at the shoulder joint** -GT slightly in front of ankle, however had you held your tummy with a slight vacuum (TA activation) and put more weight in the outside edges of your feet whilst gripping your big toes to the floor then your hips would lean back slightly and likely fall directly above your ankles without having to change your spinal curve. The before you look more tight and rigid. The after you look more relaxed and have a nice curve in your spine. Work on your shoulder mobility and tone balance to fix the rounding their that creates the illusion of hyperkyphosis in your Tx. Then practice maintaining a slight vacuum through the tummy and keep your body weight on your outside edges of your feet (just to the side of the heel) whilst grounding through the big toe. Edit: The most obvious change is your went from posterior pelvic tilt to anterior pelvic tilt and didn't engage the core according. Interesting to see as well that your hand looks much less cramped whilst standing.. suggesting healthier finger and wrist flexor/extensor muscles Edit#2: Would have been good if your leg workout was more ATG inspired (kneesovertoesguy) to help get blood flow into your ankles, knees, and hips. Patrick steps, ATG split squat, Incline Pigeon (ideally weighted), weighted butterfly, couch stretch and pancake holds, and of course backwards walking/sleds. For your shoulders; trap 3 raises, db shoulder ext rot, horizontal bench dumbbell pull overs, and of course dead hangs All in all, you should definitely sit down sometimes... it's good to take a break. But more standing and walking around will always be better than excessive sitting or lying down. Just remember everything requires maintenance and balance.

@@2405phuong I recommend researching the transverse abdominis and external/internal obliques in relation to the spine. A gentle tummy vacuum helps to support the upper sacrum and lumbar spine. Combining this information with a structured spine strengthening and mobility routine (ATG Checklist) can eliminate lower back discomfort for majority of people. Of course proper nutrition and sleep is also a necessity.

The biggest reason why I‘m looking forward to my new workplace is that they set up standing desks for all of their workers when I did an internship there this winter. I won’t actually be in the office until January but still, it’s great. Especially because I have never been able to stand for longer periods of time comfortably. My upper and lower back will cramp up and my feet and knees say no to all the weight. Mind you, I‘m 19, normal weight, and am active for at least 3 hours every day. I really, really hope that a standing desk will help a little bit.

Almost 10 years ago I switched to a standing desk and would never go back. I made mine always standing with no option to lower. (Just a inexpensive desk with long legs from Ikea) If I have to sit I can just pull up a stool. But I find it's easier to stand all day at work when you don't have a stool nearby to tempt you. So when my stool broke after a year I never replaced it. Now I stand from 9-5 for work and it's easy!
