There's an alternative missing in all these graphics: Feet not on the ground.
If your feet are on the ground for hours and hours your heart will be in trouble to pump the blood back up all the way. It's even worse with standing. So see to that your feet are not on the ground, rest your legs on some support under the table, sit cross legged (it's feasible even in office chairs) and take every pose that's not feet in the ground.
Your venes and your heart will thank you.
understood, installing pull up bar to avoid feet touching ground, alternatating between pull ups and sitting like a furry with feet above the desk.
Damn that's not great to hear. I have to stand all day, I don't have much of an option lol
I wouldn't be too worried if you have ordinary cardiovascular health. If your heart has to put in non-trivial work to get the blood up from your legs, I would recommend more exercise.
Just spend a few minutes with your legs above your head each day, and you'll be fine. I usually just lie on my bed with my feet up on the wall after stretching. Sometimes I also end up taking a nap, which is nice.
Standing for hours is counteracted by a few minutes of this? Is that really true?
Compression socks do help though
luckily lying in bed is option for me. I ll be doing standing-sitting-walking-lying.
Slow motion planking, nice.
