Sitting vs standing: how to actually alternate
The healthiest posture is the next one. Sitting all day is hard on your back; standing all day is hard on your legs. The win is switching between them.

Why alternating beats either extreme
Long static standing tires legs and lower backs just like sitting does. Changing position keeps things moving.

FAQ
How long should I stand for?
There's no magic number — change often. Many find switching every 30–60 minutes comfortable. Listen to your body.
Do I still need a good chair if I stand?
Yes — you'll still sit for much of the day, so chair and lumbar support matter just as much.
General guidance, not medical advice. Persistent or sharp pain is worth discussing with a doctor or physiotherapist.
