A hugely simple habit that can be formed with minimal effort: standing more. We aren’t designed to be slouched in armchairs all day long. Instead, we are meant to roam and wander, using our legs for the majority of the day. Sitting isn’t great for posture or pain either. With just a stack of books or a cheap desk extension, you can create a standing environment at work. Standing burns far more calories than sitting down. It is also better for your vascular system to be stood rather than on your bum! So, adjust your desk and get on your feet a little more, your weight, fitness, and heart will all thank you!
