Does standing improve performance?

I can't imagine it would make that much of a difference if you are a fit person to begin with but the increased circulation and activity is always good. I would be careful you're not hunching over to type or work though cause that will put pressure and strain on the neck/back/spine and give you lots of problems. Make sure you have good posture while standing

Alan Webb counts his steps. This is almost as crazy.

Yeah, I agree that it sounds crazy, but so far my posture while working on the computer has definitely improved.

I mentioned it to my physical therapist yesterday. He told me that a long term study is being conducted at one of the local elementary schools where all the chairs in classrooms have been replaced with exercise balls. The premise is that you can't sit on one of those balls and have bad posture because you'll roll off. The study is to see if it has any effect on obesity. That sounds really crazy, but that's why they're doing it.

I bruise my heels often in my track workouts, so I usually wear Dr. Scholls or Avia balance shoes during the day. They take the pressure off the heels, but standing still in these shoes requires constant core work so I'm standing all day in those shoes, too.

It's been nine days. I estimate that I've stood about 50 hours more than normal over those nine days.

I plan to continue this for at least a couple of months and see if I notice any changes in health, fitness, sleep, crunches, core workouts, or running. It will only be a study of one, but I'll report back if anything interesting happens.

Standing helps your mentallity focus over your physicallity. Standing on your foot items will help the souchers of your neck align with the global gravitational forces to pull you to the finish line before you get there on your own.
