(www.bowflex.com) submitted 1 year ago by jolakola to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 90 comments fedilink hide all child comments I'm going to start standing-sitting while working. Got a desk that can do it. Was curious how it has affected other people.
[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 child) Walking makes a huge difference. I average around 14,000 steps a day, and the health benefits to your heart, lungs, joints, and back can't be overstated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lennybird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) Can you elaborate on the specific benefits you saw? Did you notice anything in terms of health metrics? Resting heart rate, HRV, blood pressure, watch sleep quality, etc.? I need some motivation to overhaul my desk setup lol. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) For me, the biggest benefits have been: Significantly-reduced lower back pain Better sleep, and I fall asleep more easily Mood. (Note that it only takes 20 minutes of activity to get endorphins flowing) I don't get winded as quickly climbing stairs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lennybird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago Thanks! I could use some improvement in 3 of those, so definitely worth trying. permalink fedilink source parent
