Sit or Stand? What Do Your Legs Really Need to Stay Healthy?
Working from home at a stand-up desk? Or sitting at your computer all day? The real answer to what’s better may surprise you: neither is enough on its own.
Your calf muscles are your body’s “second heart.” Just like the heart pumps blood out, your calves pump blood back uphill toward the heart. Whether you sit or stand, the key is to keep your legs moving.
Sitting? Keep your toes planted and lift your heels up and down throughout the day.
Standing? Don’t just stay still. Instead, walk around, shift your weight, and work that calf pump.
🏊Think of it this way: your legs are like a swimming pool. At the surface, the pressure is light, but the deeper you go, the greater the pressure. Without movement, that pressure works against your veins. With movement, your calf pump helps fight it.
💡 Bottom line: It’s not about sitting or standing, it’s about moving. Even small motions keep your circulation strong, your veins healthier, and your body energized.
