If sitting down for long periods is bad for us, then why is walking or standing up all day cause lower back pain?
In: Biology
Answer: everything in moderation. And also bad posture.
Basically, we’re built to be in *motion*, but too much motion causes excess wear and tear – worse still if we have bad posture. That’s why we’re encouraged to get up every 15 minutes or so if we work at a desk, and why long-distance runners have to pay very close attention to their form to avoid excess motion.
