Big fan of the SmartDesk 2 myself (thank you Autonomous for sending one over) for its ease of use, quiet motor, and top notch quality.
In this technological world, sitting in front a bright screen has become the norm. Whether that's sitting on the couch watching TV or sitting at your desk to get work done, chances are that you're currently sitting way too much. Knowing that, there have been a sprout of alternatives recently, and one of the more popular options is the standing desk. But now we have to ask: Is standing more actually better for you? Let's find out!

[@artboy598]

I do a lap around my office every hour and take the stairs. It seems to help for me along with exercise. I'm notorious for "making my rounds" lol

[@MrDemonB]

artboy598 that's a great idea. I'm gonna use that for my night shift this week :-)

[@zojirushi1]

You walk around your office?

[@rahulshendre7089]

[@KD-lx1cr]

Yo Yo just look at dem triangles

[@rejacksa7231]

"To an extent" is the new "it depends"

[@XRAMB0]

You deserve so many more subscribers. You do so many in depth videos on such good topics. Keep up the good work dude.

[@roaldkamman7667]

PictureFit your videos are amazing. I love using the things i learn here for my own goals and also great stuff to use in my study sportscience. Thank you for referrencing all your sources and doing some A+ research it really helps.

[@AzulonKaiba]

You miss to mentioned something about a treadmill desk

[@robertspence7766]

Excellent! I have been thinking of going to a standing desk. I will pursue a mixed stand/sit desk. Thanks!

[@nagato2k633]

such a waste of money LOL

[@jojojaykay]

Senpai : Gaming - Hacking & more What? The entire video just discussed how it (probably) wouldn't be.

[@CrewbenV]

I'm with you. Just seeing the change in glucose is all the motivation I need!

[@NeverStoppedSinging]

I was always wondering about this, thank you!

[@CrewbenV]

Thank you for this video. It has helped me. I recently had a very unnerving health scare. A huge part I believe is due to the drastic lifestyle change that occured after my promotion and simultaneous bike accident a few years ago. I used to bike and hit the gym daily, until I shattered my elbow. Once that happened I changed everything I was doing out of fear of pain. Combine that with my "promotion" in which I went from being active and on my feet and on the move all day, to suddenly sitting at a desk allllllll day. Attempting to take breaks but never really making a difference because of the workload that kept me there. (I manage a museum.) In any case, my scare only came days ago. I have an appointment with my PCP and will find out if I'm diabetic in a few days. I believe I am but will do everything possible for me, my wife and especially for my son to control my situation. Thankfully I have the authority to purchase a standing desk or standing modifier for myself. I'll likely buy one for my GM too. Just one more tool to improve my health along with major improvements to exercise and diet. This has been a life changing experience. To anyone reading this. Don't make excuses, make great choices for yourself. Not just for you, but for the ones you love as well. I'm making changes that I should've made long ago.

[@MISTERBONG228]

Let me guess... it depends

[@justamexicanstealingameric87]

MISTERBONG228 over used

[@Proatcod10]

MISTERBONG228 to an extent

[@sandeshthapa6816]

This channel should have 2 million subscribers...it deserve it

[@pikabolt09]

I love you and your sources

[@solk.posner7201]

Nice video. I don't use adjustable desk but I have a standing desk and a tall sit when I get very tired. I'll try to mix it up more now those.

[@xFlea]

what would you say about 6 hours a day sitting but also going to the gym 6 days a week and having an active job? thanks :)

[@DavidDPerez]

Great video, although I was surprised/hoped that you would cover the other alternative that has the LEAST(if any really) consequences, the TREADMILL DESK. The benefits of the standing,but without standing still, and the body is constantly moving,so less strain AND burn more calories with the benefits of walking! It would be cool if you could cover it in an update or part 2 video or at least edited to inform others in the comments :)

[@GeekyMino]

Interesting video. Maybe it's best to sit and exercise after every two hours. Some simple stretches and exercises like push ups, squats and lounges are great.

[@ricardoandres7503]

WOW thiswas the best SELLOUT ever pretty clean/ you must have a marketing degree

[@gaetanmallet9808]

great video. what do you think about seating on swissball ?

[@idsavo]

I thought the video was about training while sitting vs training standing. There are many exercises that can be done with both ways, but I always was wondering which one is the best!

[@rahulshendre7089]

Thanks

[@dakkehdak]

Curious about the Autonomous desk. I was thinking of getting one for a while, but can't tell how sturdy it is. I find it incredibly annoying when my monitors wobble when I type. So I need a sturdy desk to prevent that from happening. Any feedback on that you could provide? Thanks.

[@michaeljara8552]

Comort 4:09

[@felipeporta1144]

[@sukmadek8626]

How can he not notice that? That's litterally like 90 frames lol

[@jules6856]

Michael Jara 5:49

[@Saitosuke]

When given a gift from a brand ;)

[@NunoTiagoMartins]

Anything on intervertebral pressure in those studies? Also, maybe you should consider an adjustable "high benches", one you can adjust the height so you're "sitting standing" :)

[@bim41337]

Gotta say it's nice to have a video about this, but I wouldn't need researches doing exessive studies to know that maybe alternating between two positions which are comfortable by themselves is the way to go ^^

[@carlsimoens8915]

How often should you change your workouts/Exercices?

[@Icon1306]

Some day saw something that said that is better sitting in a 45 or like angle if we need to stay sit for a long time (hours), any way, great video.

[@patrykkozlowski2684]

What to eat before work or school after a morning workout?

[@AndreInvests]

Going through this at my full time job.. Thought making videos about fitness would help fix that.... I guess not haha!

[@victorpkstrength]

Interesting ! What about having a treadmill under the desk and walking slowly instead of just standing ?

[@shortydv]

Hey man what about working while walking on a comfortable pace on a treadmill???

[@godswillngwaka7488]

At school I just lean back with a straight back if that makes sense. Plus walking around with a good posture creates a good habit. And stretching your back alines your back. Stuff like touching your toes or putting your four head on your knees with your legs straight etc.Because I noticed a lot of people that just workout with weights are always tight.

[@ChrisCantu]

What about a wobble board or stool? Do they offer any more benefit?

[@thespace45]

Please do a video on breaking a plateau! :D

[@aragami0686]

i dont have a hybrid desk, so does kneeling on a cushion and use normal desk help?

[@ruukahn5500]

it depends...

[@4200006200]

When you say prolonged standing you include walking? or you mean standing in the same place for a long time?

[@luc_dogg]

Is laying down as bad as sitting down? I lay down all day because I had hip surgery and even before surgery as soon as i got home from work i would lay down all day because standing and sitting would cause pain. My hips are getting better but laying down has become habit. Is prolonged periods of laying down just as bad?

[@halimahussain3878]

Can you do a video on metabolic damage

[@yasinaouana4205]

Nice vidéo

[@noonespecial7784]

But what about squatting Cheeki breeki i

[@devinshilightsdale9738]

No one Special iv damke!

[@hasifmatusin1241]

No one Special AHA, A TRUE SLAV!

[@lforloser7210]

No one Special hes uploaded today

[@thatrandomguygaming324]

No one Special yes comrade. We will Soviet squat for entire day

[@Leon.Stanic]

It's the best.

[@VictoryGR]

any research been done on standing driving? cause i sit in a car a lot...

[@fefo107]

Ever tried the treadmill desktop??

[@dr.harshad.fitness]

Do they have international shipping?

[@MsAGs]

I sit about for 10 hours. And I spend 3 and a half hours working out. Thoughts?

[@gasparsigma]

So it's been a feel months. How do you feel about it

[@markheirman5614]

What about the treadmill desk? Isn't walking better than both (standing still & sitting)?

[@Henniehaan]

Mark Heirman Humans can't multitask.

[@alexanderfang5434]

Tom den Brinker Walking isn't always something we consciously control, unless we really try. I don't think it counts as multitasking to walk and do desk things, or do you find it hard to walk and do other things at the same time?

[@Valentin_Teslov]

3:48 happyness XD

[@1stAjay]

what about those treadmill desks lol walking some of the time, standing some of the time, sitting some of the time?

[@flourek5351]

The real question is what keyboard is that? 3:57

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

I often sit at my desk for up to 12 hours a day multiple weeks in a row and havent noticed anything like that. I am extremely skinny and have very low blood pressure and heart rate. Maybe it is becuase i have some compensation by cycling a lot on the weekends and having four hours of handball training a week.

[@moistnugget3717]

Can you give us an update on what you think about it?

[@KyberEinars]

What about sitting on exercise ball ?

[@onua136]

I wonder the act of sitting, in & of itself, is what causes these various health issues, or if it's merely the correlation of these issues to people that ALSO sit a lot. Like, for example, if you have 2 people of similar biological characteristics who sit a lot, 1 trained & 1 untrained (out of "shape" even?) & 2 people who stand a lot, both trained & untrained, what will the results be?

[@jasonrenaud]

I have started lifting weights and have lost about 20 lbs. I have noticed especial my biceps that on top of the muscle feels... grainy or lot of bumbs and groves. Is this normal. Before my muscle was always smooth. Hard to find any info on this and have noticed a few other people with this issues please help !!! Any info Picture Fit ????

[@gugi4477]

Idk, I think you should rest more..

[@stegans7586]

what about sitting on a exercise ball?

[@kingofdragonsgameplay1369]

What about laying down all day? Is it worse than sitting, or about the same? Is it maybe better?

[@jeorgedegagne8064]

What about a slow walk at the desk? I have heard of that being done. Use a treadmill.

[@unknownyoutubechannel6196]

Can you please do a video on upper cross syndrome?

[@lightning3865]

Why hoose between Sitting or Standing if you can lay down?

[@Yikes_YT]

If I'm mixing between standing and sitting once every hour, am I doing... Sit-ups?

[@maximedoreee4100]

Can you do a video about alcohol and it s impact on your body(gains)

[@iliminator1000]

What about exercise balls? I've heard they're quite good....

[@Dr.BestBuy]

Nice Happyness* reference...

[@Web720]

What about standing desk but putting a treadmill underneath? There's some YT vids on it.

[@maxpower8549]

soooo...how does it feel by now?

[@gtafreak175]

Or just squat, when I get tired of standing I put my laptop on a stool lower than my normal desk and squat down. It's also safe not gonna hurt your back or knees or anything, just make sure you have adequate mobility.

[@567Kriss]

I only hunch over badly when it's the two days of DOMS after deadlifts. I'm absolutely wrecked right now.

[@mastersun1172]

Do a video explain Bodybuilding genes

[@nelsonnguyen4811]

Jeff Nippard just did a science explained video on that.

[@ramonpeters9608]

Is sitting on a yoga ball better than using a chair or the same?

[@ChickenSoupMusic]

Answer is anything that lets you change positions now and then and move around the office so you’re not static most of the day

[@RahulKumar-nm5mc]

by sitting "long time" how much? does that even mean? average?

[@TheThunderwars]

How about walking desks?

[@Gloin79]

what about squatting?

[@kellybananabelly594]

I create my own standing desk, I stack all my pillows on my bed and put my laptop on it lol reaches head level XD

[@foobarz-coding]

i do the same thing

[@CupCakeUnleashed]

alright it’s been 4 years, what’s the update?

[@ninjasjams3776]

How about lying down on ur bed?

[@yamfish6]

Handstands. Type with your toes. Also, what's the deal with L-Carnitine?

[@jakebruce2767]

how about students?

[@lupeters213]

You want to spend less time at your desk? Get a really uncomfortable chair. The physical discomfort is a prime motivation to leave the seated position. (Also works to increase standing time at an adjustable desk.)

[@Ali-ns6fx]

3:55 you spelt happiness wrong 😅 but I guess depends.

[@imlegit6679]

stop criticizing him

[@SeboHyatt]

There's a yellow mark right beside the y as if he knew it was spelled wrong but still left it there.

[@Ali-ns6fx]

Im Legit it wasn't criticism you idiot it was a joke.

[@sukmadek8626]

And 4:09 comort LOL

[@noraluvv]

4:10 comort 😂

[@rustyjones7560]

Is KZbin your full time job? Curious.

[@Unknown-wi8yv]

3:52 happyness?

[@time-lapseseb1141]

The name of that company should be rather pronounced Lambda-utonomous since it's the Lambda sign instead of an A. :) I like your good content btw!!

[@carvalho9021]

RIP Rich Piana and Dallas McCarver.

[@vitordanieleal]

Prolonged squating is the way THE ONLY WAY !!

[@jackw1252]

I'm lying, better than both ;)

[@PROquickscope360]

Didn't know all those facts tho!

[@TheGrandWhiteFox]

TL;DR it depends

[@Omkar_Nigade_Shorts]

I thought it is about sitted vs standing workout video

[@jonaskonrad]

it depends :D

[@sneakers_guy5488]

Is it an American thing to spell happiness like this --> happyness? @3:55

[@Charlotte4Short]

Kevin Kev No.

[@MatiasStrengthCoach]

ALL 'BOUT BALANCE

[@MAGAMAN]

Standing for long periods of time can cause knee problems. The biggest problem with both standing and sitting for long periods of time is that you are not moving (which he basically just said as I typed this, lol.)

[@MrLwright86]

Sales pitch for Autonomous. Wow Picture Fit

[@leonardolici4316]

this has to be discuss at school, LOL

[@gq7435]

How about putting a desk on a treadmill? A walking desk!

[@cherubino95]

So, after 4 years, what about your experience?
