So you need like a stack or something.
And two, I want you to have a bar stool so that you can sit down, you can perch, you can lean, you can use it as a prop, you can put your foot on it, you can do half pigeon pose on it, right?
And all of a sudden you're like, wow, there's a lot of movement choice.
I think the problem with just sitting is that we don't have a lot of movement choice here.
And as soon as I go from a sitting β traditionally sitting station to a more work-friendly position, there's a lot more choice to fidget, move, take a break, step back, et cetera, et cetera.
And that suddenly cracks the whole thing open.
Perfect.
You can go down the rabbit hole.
You can go to Ikea and get the cheapest bar stool you want there.
I just want your trunk to have to work.
As soon as I sit back, everything turns off.
And there's a time for that.
Absolutely, let's go ahead and kick back.
Welcome to the couch.
Welcome to laying down.
But the rest of the time, we might even say, well, hmm, if we have remote work or I need some work at home, maybe I sit on the ground.
And so suddenly what you're doing, as we come back to kind of a conversation we were having, is what does a day's movement look like?
And if I'm not able to exercise, could I still say I moved enough during the day?
I took care of myself.
I was able to put all these things in while I walked.
