I was watching several proper form videos to make sure and I'm doing things right when a fitness "guru" mentioned he was trying the no sitting challenge for 30 days. I know sitting too much is bad for our health, so is standing too much. Has anyone else tried it? Is it really that much of a benefit to not sit so much? Also, what if you have a job that requires sitting? I'm looking into a standing desk for my work, but standing too much it's good either! I'm thinking of trying the challenge if it's a good idea.

Hello All! I'm trying something new this challenge (inspired by @ixaera, as many of the things I do are ) My mother is visiting the last week of the challenge, and with holidays etc, my schedule is not fully predictable, so my standard weekly goals I don't think will work, nor will they be rewarding. So I'm trying out a points system. I want to earn 100 points this challenge (I reserve the right to revise this goal if I need to, because I'm not sure how this points thing will go). I'm starting points earning immediately and running it through the end of the challenge. So I need to average about 25 points a week, but I definitely want to front load that so I have a holiday cushion So I have a series of things that will earn me points: Working on yoga poses/transitions for at least 10 minutes for the pvp: +2 Simple and Sinister: +2 Sticking to my calorie goal (or at most 50 cal over): +1 Squatting training from Move your DNA, at least 10 min: +2 Adulting task (only earnable 1x/week): +5 Mobility work before bed: +1 So I'm keeping it basic, we'll see how the points go! Tomorrow I'm going to attempt my first adulting task, negotiating with the internet company
