don't think this is exactly quantifiable, but the days i teach lab, are the best for my body, on my feet, but not standing, instead walking between the teaching lab and the research lab for 4-5 hours straight starting at 10 am, then today, finished an experiment of my own until about 6 pm, finally sat for a little bit, then from about 7-9 on my feet again, running errands around the building, etc, so on my feet for the good part of about 11 hours, with a lunch time meeting for an hour and again sitting for some dinner and computer for an hour. on my feet, moving around, not standing, but walking here and there, then a little standing, then walking, then pacing, my back is so much happier on those days than when its just sit sit sit, even with breaks, too much sitting is pure evil, too much stationary standing almost as evil, but moving around, feel like that's what our bodies were designed to do. wish i could just teach and mentor in the lab all day every day, think i'd be much healthier for it,
