Definitely. No joke but I had a colleague who suffered slipped disc and sitting at office for long periods was a pain.

During WFH time in the long circuit breaker period, she said was able to lie down to rest periodically and her slipped disc condition improved. 

I had slipped discs 4 yr ago, but i think the WFH was just the trigger. I prob started damaging the discs way beforehand, through prolonged/excessive sitting.

I feel govt should educate the population from young, the harm of prolonged sitting - something that i was not aware of until i went to see my back specialist...

I can never sit in the same chair for hours.

No problem for me

Good for you lor.

my surgeon said recommended not to sit more than 2 hr.

when sitting straight, our lower back takes 50% more stress/strain than when we are standing upright. If sit without back support and body leans forward, then the stress/strain on the lower back is more than double of standing upright...

this article says TAB expanding and taking over PLAB, due completion from 2030 onwards:

"The expansion of the 86-year-old Tengah Air Base is to accommodate the relocation of Paya Lebar Air Base, which will be completed from 2030 onwards."

Liddat Tengah bto should be cheaper from 2030...i know i know...mr tan would say otherwise...well protected...more sexpensive...😂

What's importance is to "lock" your spine when you sit.

That will transfer your weight down to your butt.

It will come naturally to you if you do proper weight training.

Note coping well today, SAF doing low-level loop-d-loops over my place in their A330 since like 8am whilst also constantly being buzzed by F15 close enough I can read the markings.

Oh, now a distant humming of a heli.....

"For your safety' wears a little thin sometimes.

Paranoid much?

I keep thinking of governmental push to make us all drive EV to save the environment whilst SAF is burning tanker loads of aviation fuel for, from the outside, seems like too much playing around exercise.

Bro, four defence purposes. Give and take lah.. not say they flying for fun. 

I also staying at SK area which will U turn back.

I actually prefer to stand most of the time.  Take bus or MRT...sure stand.

Any place that need to wait for queue number, I will stand.

When  doing  work on laptop,  after sitting 30 minutes, I  stand to type the keyboard.  

At home watch TV,  after sitting 30 minutes - 1 hour, I will stand for the rest of the show.

The only place I won't  stand is cinema & makan places.

Weird but true.....😅

Not easy to sit more than 2 hr le. No matter WFH or WFO, surely would need to get up to walk to toilet right. Then if WFO, surely need to walk to pantry to replenish water or go to photocopier machine to take prints lo.

Cinema cannot stand la, can't be you buy ticket to cinema and then you stand behind or at the side to watch the movie right?! Lol. Experts say eating better is to sit down and eat, if eating while standing or walking not good for digestion.

My job is quite desk-bound, need to read a lot, so must focus... sometimes really can ~3 hr or more...

Not healthy...

last week i just went watch mission impossible on weekday afternoon. It's my first movie in cinema since maybe 10 yr ago. 

the movie so long, and the cinema so empty (maybe only 5 pax in total), so at one point, i was actually standing for maybe 20 min...
