How to do the moves
Health check
Standing is useful as a position change, but it is still static. The stronger evidence-based theme is to reduce long sedentary bouts and add brief movement.
The app tiers are comfort-based starting points. There is not one universally proven sit/stand schedule for every body, desk, injury history, or task.
Prolonged standing can cause discomfort and fatigue too. Use standing, sitting, walking, stretches, and task changes as a rotation.
Standing can demand more postural control than slumping in a chair, but it should not be treated as a real core-strength program.
Stop if a move causes pain, dizziness, numbness, or tingling. For injury, pregnancy, recent surgery, neurological symptoms, or heart/blood-pressure concerns, use clinician advice.
