Standing work better? Programmer, you sit still,

Standing work better?
Programmer, you still sit-stand at the benefits of stand-up, programmer-IT news Standing work better? Programmer, you're still sitting right

I once believed in standing-benefits Office.

Heard that this works much better, and also watched a lot of research, I had been hoping for a stand-up desk.

United States cancer society after 18 years of follow-up the 123,000 people concluded that sat for more than 6 hours per day of human mortality is quite high.

In a survey of more than 200,000 people, the researchers found, even sporty crowd (at least exercise 5 hours a week), the sitting will also increase their risk of death.

Even one company reported that use a standing desk can improve the efficiency of 10%.

Seeing so many proven good stand-up report, I would like to personally give it a try.

When the company moved to ooomf (Note: the author's company, now called Crew) when new Office, I built a dream desk, the key it is a standing desk.

After standing

One night, I finally got my standing desk. Table is made up of some 22 knives you can buy IKEA parts assembled into a. When drilling the last hole when I was as proud as a parent.

Shortly thereafter I started standing up for the first time, I stand barefoot on the Yoga mat for 1.5 hours and feel energetic.

Came the next day, I intend to stand up all day. I remained standing for about an hour, then legs. Yao tired bent, but I got through it. I pulled his shoulders back, and back, resisting gravity is very strong at the moment.

Despite some pain, but I don't think this is useful, like build muscle you need to suffer soreness of muscles. At this time I am the strong my muscles to correct bad posture. This is a necessary process.

About 2 hours later, I took a break. Sit and feel this position is the greatest invention of all time.

When you feel able to come round when I stood up and went to work. But this time, only lasted 20 minutes later, I couldn't stand up straight again. I couldn't help but bend down to rest my back or put weight on the leg, better relax another leg.

The next few hours, I sat on the laptop work.

Later that day I'm standing up a bit, but for a stand-up desk, had a different view. It no longer makes me miss, it makes me sick.

However, I still believe that there is a process of adaptation, so I didn't give up.

After two weeks, I can stand and work 2 hours a day, although from time to time to have a rest in the middle. That's nothing, anyway before I sit and work, it is necessary to rest and adjust status.

But the problem is because the stand is too tired, even if I want to continue to work, had to stop for a rest. This messed up my work flow.

Stand helps me concentrate more on certain types of work, such as replying to a message (partly because I know that I only lasted a very short time). For works that need attention for a long time, such as writing, my train of thought was disrupted. Legs were so sore that I can't write it.

Even if the soreness may actually be good, I'm not so much, because it affects my work.

On that day, I split my stand-up work table.

Although I may be reluctant to stand up may be beneficial to health and may be able to improve efficiency, but I don't want to sacrifice the quality of the work. Improve the quality of work is precisely the reason why I choose to stand.

Writing comes when pain should not be interrupted. When inspiration is, I don't want my waist is not uncomfortable at this time. I just want to concentrate on work.

Daily activity is, of course, useful and can make me feel good. Although I am not used to stand, there are many other activities can be used.

Sat really as harmful as smoking?

In the past few years, some experts believe that, in certain circumstances, sitting is smoking, endangering the people of our generation. Partly true, because now a lot of work to do sitting in front of a computer, which means that many people had sat for more than a dozen years ago.

But the truth is, and not a bad thing. Sedentary plus does not sport the real killers. In fact, any kind of posture is not healthy for a long time.

Side effects of many experts and scholars have pointed out that, the question is still inactive for a long time. When we stay still, and risk of cardiovascular disease increases, decline in the body's metabolism and fat accumulation.

Standing is perhaps a way of solving the problem of sedentary, but it cannot solve the problem of inactivity. Standing for long periods is not much better than long periods of sitting. Of course standing may consume more calories, but stretched for too long can cause problems, such as leg varicose veins, increase the burden of the knee, knee stiff, even cause knee injuries.

So it's not about standing or sitting, but to activities.

Despite the intense exercise is good for health, but moderate exercise is the necessary condition for health and longevity. Scholar Dan Buettner said of National Geographic magazine, improving the quality of life does not mean to run a marathon or becoming a professional athlete.

Buettner and his team studied the so-called "blue zone" (Note: Blue Zones), the people who live there are the healthiest in the world's oldest person.

What's interesting is, Buettner discovered, where most people are not our authorized forms of exercise and sport.

They are vegetarians, and formed a community that can support each other in your life. They don't go to the gym or treadmill, their way of life so that they maintain a low intensity exercise every day.

Japan Okinawa to a community, where people have bowel cancer and breast cancer, only United States average one-fifth. According to the local custom, people sat on the floor, allowing them to stand up and sit down and 3, 40 times a day.

Italy, a village in Sardinia, the number of centenarians has life expectancy here is United States 10 times. They live in vertical building, so you must climb the stairs every day. Infertile soil, so people need to be more diligent, which require low-intensity manual labor on a regular basis. (Note: is probably going to be working in the fields. )

In these areas, and transport. Buettner said, walking is the only way has been proven to help prevent cognitive decline. Regular low intensity of labor is the key factor in quality of life for a long time.

Buettner found by the United States, a study support. This study about 300 volunteers walking habits tracked for 13 years.

The people who walked the most frequent, potential memory disease rate was halved. Experts believe that walking 9 miles a week is to exercise best distance of the nervous system.

If you like to exercise or to go to the gym, that's great. Exercise can make you stronger, happier and prolongs life expectancy. But if you're too busy unable to exercise regularly or because of their disability are unable to attend a regular exercise, there are other ways to make basic movements required by the body. (Note: the exercises, HA HA)

How to prevent because the sedentary and the short-lived

So, walking is the answer to everyday activities. But sometimes you can't leave the Office in order to walk more, maybe it's not too good, or you're catching.

When you can't leave the Office when the following 3 ways to make your exercise more:

1. sitting sport. There are several ways to correct position and accelerate blood circulation, even if they are sitting. Leg lift exercise has been shown to help blood circulation in the legs. Studies have shown that sitting for long periods of time, turn the seat back down to 135 degrees to ease back pain.

I have a 135 degree seatback can be transferred to the chairs. I broke a foot from IKEA to help blood circulation in the legs.

2. squats. Squats are one of the best forms of exercise, it can cause the body to release an enzyme that can break down fat and helps blood circulation in the legs. You don't have to put on athletic wear, simply by mixing with, such as a microwave oven heats food or coffee machine coffee while squats as possible. Russia when Sochi Winter Olympics, organizers and even give you free tickets--as long as you squat under 30 lines:

3. stretch your hips. When I was at the gym, I can't do weight-bearing squat. When I try to put the ass while crouched below the knee, lumbar pain. Coaches say my gluteus matters than pickle canning lids.

Why do it? Then I realized most of the muscle in the butt are attached to the waist. If you're like me, working at a desk for several years, may be too tight and your gluteus maximus muscles pain, thus compromise your waist.

Gluteal muscles too tight is often a dive due to back pain, and older can lead to difficulties in walking. Problem solving is one of the best way to stretch your gluteal muscles every day.

Kelly Starrett in 2005 set up a comprehensive campaign (Crossfit) gym. After contact with tens of thousands of athletes, he found that players were doing some exercises – squats – for example when the plague. He has invented a method to help people develop their own bodily functions and help the body to relearn good forms of exercise, this can prevent injury and improve athletic performance. Here are his three recommendations on improving hip vitality. I have tried to do these exercises every day. Takes only 3 minutes a day can reduce the risk of illness from the waist:

If you feel like standing up for you, that's great. But if you don't like it, don't force, especially in the case of it affecting your work. Maybe you are not suited for standing up, just like me. It does not matter, anyway, long standing not much better than sedentary.

Key activities a day. You don't need to do every day 5-mile Sprint. Walk to work, climb stairs or squats can be a heated lunch.

(Translator's Note: nothing to do gymnastics in a while looks sucks. )
