Sitting VS. Standing

Was thinking about doing this at work instead of using an office chair. Wonder how many cals that would burn in an 8hr day?

I've been thinking about this too!

Wow never knew this! I am a mobile hairdresser and can stand 5 hours at a time working on some ones hair!

wish i could sit down in my job, being in nursing I am stood for 8 hours a day walking around clinic lifting or pushing patients in wheelchairs. I get half hour lunch beak to sit and re-energise. Downside is I am too tired after work to even think about doing any proper exercise. I fit in 500 crunches before bed thats about it for working days.

Interesting... never thought of it from a calorie perspective. I redesigned my home office space last year... raised the desk so I could work comfortably while standing when needing to move about a little or stretch. I use a "lab" chair which is high enough to allow me to sit and work comfortably when wanting to sit down. Still probably would actual log it... but doing what you can to limit being sedentary is a good thing.

Yeah, might be a good idea if I worked from home, but I'm pretty sure my employer would not be crazy about the idea of a treadmill in my upstairs office (I work in a doctor's office). :ohwell: Awesome idea, though! :glasses:
