I wonder how fidgeting impacts this.

I sit all day at work, but I fidget my legs constantly. I'm under no delusions that this is as good as being properly active, but it has to be better than sitting completely still.

The 135 degree thing is interesting. Our ergonomic specialists at work always tell us 90 degrees. It would make sense that sitting back a little would help with circulation to my legs though. I will have to try this. Thanks for sharing!

I've heard that fidgeting helps, but I think what is meant by that is there is a certain type of person that is always fidgety and because they move around all the time unconsciously they are always burning more energy that a naturally lethargic person. I don't think it's a trait that's easily acquired. If you are not fidgety by nature you would need to burn your energy at scheduled exercise.
