"Is Standing Really Better Than Sitting?" — Why Movement Matters More Than PostureWe’ve all heard that sitting is the new smoking… but what if we just traded one health trap for another? In this episode, Vic dives into the science behind standing desks, prolonged sitting, and the real solution to our sedentary lives: frequent, intentional movement.🎓 What You’ll Learn:Why the calorie difference between sitting and standing is almost negligibleHow too much sitting can undo the benefits of your workoutWhy “exercise snacks” — short, frequent movement bursts — may be more powerful than a gym sessionWhat NEAT is (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) and why it mattersEasy ways to add movement into your day — no gym, no excuses📚 Featured Research:Energy Expenditure: Sitting vs. StandingFarrahi et al.
