It’s so nasty outside 😫 The blegh weather outdoor sport season has started.
Speaking of which… I was at the yearly check up for work, and the doctor asked me, like most doctors, if I sit a lot.
Do I sit a lot? What is a lot? I mean, I do sit more than I stand, I guess. But I also do stand, walk around, do sports, bike, walk… I don’t know. How much do default humans sit? What is our factory setting? If we are not looking for food and stuff, are we still supposed to walk all day? I know people who stand and walk a lot for their jobs, or do jobs with lots of movement also have health problems related to that. Some say we should work standing (which I also do, but not all day). Some say we can sit, but not on a chair. I could sit on my piano stool. Or on the floor. Sitting on the floor is supposed to be good for the hips.
Every time I get asked this, I reply with “yeah, but I also do sports!” Like there is some kind of judgement happening. I guess the doctor is just writing stuff down which she thinks is relevant and isn’t overly concerned with anything else.
Anyhow. Stretch, people.
