Can\u2019t get ourselves off the couch or 2. Look at the daunting price tags for every item or the space they would take up in our tiny house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-15522\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/couch-and-computer-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"couch and computer\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/couch-and-computer-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/couch-and-computer-768x1156.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/couch-and-computer-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/couch-and-computer-300x452.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/>First \u2013 I want to mention the downfalls of sitting. There\u2019s an entire book you can read about it in depth <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bBYNdb\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. But from my personal perspective, and I do sport a masters degree in health, it\u2019s not good for our bodies. We were not made to be sedentary, no matter how much our psyche tells us we are. My recent experience from sitting too much in just one sitting was that I developed sciatica \u2013 AGAIN. Anyone who\u2019s had sciatica knows that it\u2019s extremely painful all the time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now I\u2019d like to offer you some solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is what I do. If I\u2019m working from home I move between standing, sitting on my couch and sitting on an exercise ball. I am lucky enough to have one of those bars between my kitchen and living room so I move the chair aside and I stand there. If you stand, I recommend having something cushy under your feet. I use a folded up yoga mat. You can also buy a reasonably priced \u201canti fatigue\u201d, \u201ckitchen mat\u201d or \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2b7KtYk\" target=\"_blank\">cushioned mat<\/a>\u201d from Amazon. I found one a few years ago at Ross. If you have carpet it\u2019s probably fine but I have wood floors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite \u201cexercise ball\u201d for sitting is \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bBXPOh\" target=\"_blank\">Gaiam<\/a>\u201d.<\/strong> I got the 65cm, which is great for my height, I\u2019m 5\u2019 1\u201d. If you\u2019re 4\u2019 10\u201d you may consider the 55cm one and if you\u2019re over 5\u2019 6\u201d, consider the 75cm one. These are the cheapest ones I could find but more important they are the best quality. I\u2019ve tried a few different brands.<\/p>\n<p>I use the exercise ball to work on my laptop at the coffee table and at my desk. It\u2019s the perfect height so I can sit up straight and not hunch over. The trick to sitting on the ball is to spread your legs open wide, sit up straight and engage your core to hold you there. It\u2019s all about balancing and moving\/swaying a little. This is really good for your body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another option is a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2b7HjUA\" target=\"_blank\">balance board<\/a> for standing.<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bqisyx\" target=\"_blank\">This is the one that\u2019s most reasonably priced<\/a> but <a href=\"https:\/\/fluidstance.com\/collections\/all\" target=\"_blank\">this is my favorite one<\/a> (very pricey). I researched a lot of them HOWEVER I have not personally used one, yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-15521 size-medium\" title=\"Standing Desk\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/standing-201x300.jpg\" alt=\"Standing Desk\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/standing-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/standing-768x1149.jpg 768w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/standing-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/standing-300x449.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/>At work I use a portable \u201cdesk\u201d on top of my regular work desk for standing. <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2bqkexh\" target=\"_blank\">I can\u2019t say enough about this portable desk<\/a>. I love it! The thing about this one is that the price on Amazon changes a lot between $19.99 and $36. Also the prices of the different colors change a lot. I got mine for $20 something but last week my office mate got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B011OJZI5W\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B011OJZI5W&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=taoacupu-20&amp;linkId=dacc691d3250c8f8487ecc6ae36cc4c6\">the same one<\/a> for $19.99. When I purchased mine, the red one was cheapest so I got that one. Be sure to get the one with vents on the bottom. You may not need to plug the fan in (I never have) but the vents keep your laptop from overheating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lastly you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diytreadmilldesk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">build your own treadmill desk<\/a> or your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=homemade%20treadmill%20desk%20setup&amp;cad=h#q=homemade+balance+board\" target=\"_blank\">balance board<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are items you can buy that are expensive, those are easy to find! So if you have the budget, here are two standing desks.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ThermoDesk Elite stand up desk &#8211; This one is used and highly recommended by a client of mine but it\u2019s not cheap!
