Once again, I could do it from the low back by over-exaggerating and stepping in where it's not supposed to. Always remember the low back is supposed to be the stability center of your spine. It's getting mobility from your hip or from your thoracic spine up and above and below, it's going to ask for it from the next place above it or below it. It's going to say to the low back, please help out.

Give me the mobility that I lack. So the low back will do it, but at an expense. And that's where you get injured. So you got to address hip weaknesses. You have to address hip mobility issues.

When we do go to sleep, eight, nine, 10 hours, how much time do you want to spend in a sort of fixed immobile position in a day? You're working all day. There's a big chunk there, maybe eight hours, nine hours, 10 hours with intermittent breaks that you're going to the bathroom and getting some water. And then you got another eight or nine hours at night that you're doing the same thing.

compression, so when your joints are subject to gravity and you're moving through space, you're actually getting a bathing of those joints of the synovial fluid that's in these joints, like let's say your knees, that you're essentially mobilizing because you're compressed, and again, with your knee, you're weight-bearing, and then you're off of it, you're weight-bearing, you're off, it's like squeezing and bathing that joint in the synovial fluid.

The outcomes are much better when we don't allow that to become stagnant and when we stimulate that through frequent movement sessions. Being up on your feet at a standing desk is certainly going to take away some of the compression and the load that we're getting from the chair. and probably discourage some of that really bad posture that comes from sitting and doing this.

Standing other than that, you're likely gonna at least improve your posture from below. You may not improve your posture so much from above, like we talked about, but at least from below, you're gonna improve that. But I still think that the inactivity Just standing alone is not solving for the inactivity. You need to take more frequent breaks.

I think people need to get up and walk around just a little bit. Five minutes every 30 minutes or so would be ideal. But if you're going to take a phone call, go walk while you're on the phone. One thing I do is I have my office and I have the gym. And as soon as I know I'm going to be on a call, I just stand up and I walk around the gym while I'm on my call, just as an excuse to get up and move.

I could easily conduct that phone call from the chair still, but I'm doing the rest of my work from the chair. Anything you can do, I know they're cliche, but park a little further when you're at a store so you have to walk a little bit more. But I think it's the frequency of the breaks that we're not taking, which is the main problem. I think that...
