Half-Day Sit-Stand Alternation
Divide your workday between sitting and standing instead of staying in one posture all day, aiming for roughly equal time in each. A simple way to do this is to use a standing desk part of the day and a seated setup for the rest. This reduces prolonged static loading from either posture and can make long work sessions feel less stiff and more sustainable.

“But that people who stand are in a slightly better situation, where many of those health metrics improve, but that people that do a combination of sitting and standing at the same desk throughout the day or move from one desk to another if they don't have a combination sit stand desk that's going to be best.”
