How do you get by at work every day? Do you sit more to do your job or you're forced to stand most of the time as a result of the nature of your work? I have a friend who works as a security guard, he stands more often at work which is a very challenging job to me. Do you do more of sitting or standing at work?

At my last job I sat more than I stood because they put me at the front to talk to everyone. Of course, there was plenty of walking inside the building, but overall it required more sitting.

Great! Not really stressful at all.

@augusta123 It was plenty stressful. I worked at a children’s mental hospital.

I sit a lot. But I am planning to get an adjustable desk so I can stand while on my laptop

At the job I have now, I do more sitting than standing. I work in customer service and most of my work is done on a computer. But I do try to stand for a bit every so often.

@augusta123 For sure. Plus it's a good way to stretch out and such.

A good mix of both, my work desk does come with an option to raise my double monitors so I can stand

I sit in front of the computer for long hours. But every 20-30 mins or so, I would stand up and walk for 5-10 minutes.
