Sitting is killing you but....

In short, if you are standing all day:
  • You are going to burn more calories.
  • You will most likely increase your HDL cholesterol (aka the ‘good’ cholesterol).
  • You may lose a little weight.
  • You’ll probably be in a better mood.
  • And even cooler, standing has an anti-aging benefit.
And while there isn’t a ton of scientific research to back this up, I will argue that you are more creatively engaged with your project and can maintain focus for longer periods of time. As Walter Murch said in our podcast together, being a film editor (like many other highly creative professions) is a combination of being a surgeon, an orchestra conductor, and a short order cook…all of whom stand while working.
