What If You Never Sit or Lay Down? 

Freeze! Don't move! Now write down your current body position. Let's see what we get... 🤔😀

Who else adjusted themselves when he mentioned posture?

Is sitting too long is bad, and standing too long is bad, what do I do? Fly?

It’s like Malcolm X said, if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything!

standing up is bad for you, sitting down is bad for you, moral of the story; we're all gonna die either way. life is great isn't it.

What if you never get Laid?

Will the real Slim Shady please sit or lay down?

What if you never sit or lay down? it's called working a minimum wage job

On my work we have a rule that once a hour, we must stand up and do some sort of exercise each hour for 15 minutes. We got a job where we mostly cit behind a desk and computer. So this is good because you won't stay in the same position for 8 hours. Maybe this should be a rule in all jobs everywhere. Because a healthier worker, is a better worker!

This has occurred to me before. My mom beat my ass so hard I couldn’t stand or lay down. Lets just say I left my legos out overnight.

I never sit at my work. If you do you get fired. Yay subway.

What if fossil fuels never existed?

Okay, So *Standing is bad for health,* *Sitting is bad for health* and *Sleeping/laying in bed is also bad for health.* So *we all should die* I guess or is that also *bad for health?* :D xD //just kidding! Great Video..

Wow, this must be a long-standing theory.

If sitting too long is bad for you, laying too long is bad for you, and standing/walking too long is bad for you... What the hell am I supposed to do? Are humans just designed to be simultaneously unhealthy no matter what they do?

Me: *clicks video* The Infrographics show: “ *sitting for too long is a habit that can shorten a persons life* “ Me: *STANDS UP*

“Ah you can’t sit with us” “Actually Megan, I can’t sit anywhere. I have Stone Man Syndrome”

I apologize that I cant stand up, I lost my leg nerves a month ago...

Watched this video laying down

Varicose veins occur from both sitting or standing too much, poor f*ckers just never win do we... 😔

“This video is brought to you by honey” Me: yay I love honey “Honey is a free browser extension...” Me: guess i shouldn’t jump to conclusions 😑

I struggle to sit down and play ps4.

what if Steve Jobs was never born

Once I saw myself in the thumbnail, I clicked.

Mr stark i dont wanna go

6-19 hours on my feet a day. Think I'll live.

You say we sit down and we'll damage our heart. You say we stand up and we'll damage our heart. You can't win.

I have to wake up at 5am for work tomorrow. Me at 2am: “What would happen if I never sat or lay down?”

I got severe plantar faciitis in both feet because of the 50+ hour weeks I was doing in a bar in London a couple years back. I worked so much I don't even remember that summer. I couldn't walk without being in constant pain. Leaving the job was the only thing that stopped it in the end.

What if you got punched in the face once a day everyday

Sitting for too long can shorten a person’s life? Hell yeah, I’m doing that.

When you have an office job or otherwise sit down a lot, be sure to alternate between sitting and standing. The trick is not to do either too much for a long time.

Nowadays, sitting too much causes WAY more health problems to people than standing too much. Like 10x or more.

1:02 they even drew a skin fade on mannn😂😭💀

I've heard a lot to the contrary regarding standing up. For example, lots of research has shown that standing actually significantly decreases chances of heart disease. A lot of these studies contradict each other. I'm starting to think what's the point of citing these studies if we're constantly told different things?

When I was at bootcamp standing 18 hours a day I definitely felt muscle fatigue every day after about a month and had bootcamp been longer than 8 weeks I could tell I was gonna get lasting muscle damage

best way to incorporate an ad

Well I sit 8 hours a day because of School and I do track but I don’t think it evens it out

Thank you infographics for answering the questions I never knew I had

For one, if you were doing a standing challenge, you could have serious health problems due to sleep deprivation. If that didn't get you, the amount of buildup (I can't remember what it's called, but it's what makes your legs hurt when they stay in the same position for a long time) in your legs and other parts will. One man had sat in the same position for 3 days straight. As soon as he stood up, the buildup went to his heart and died a little bit after due to a heart attack.

Correction: “sat or lay down”, or, “sit or lie down”, but not, “sit or lay down”. “Sat” and “lay” are both past tense; “sit” and “lie” are both present tense”, but “sit” and “lay” mixes tenses, so doesn’t make sense.

Well basically school is slowly killing us because we sit for hours.....so I’m suing my school 😂

It’s simple; too much of anything is bad for you. ANYTHING

as someone who has several pain/autoimmune diseases (for example, i have: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and MCDT) i've only been able to work standing jobs because in my area, employers dont think you deserve to sit unless you have a masters degree in college (which i just graduated HS or was in HS at the time) and each time it triggered a flareup so bad that i either missed a month of work and got fired, nearly died from a flareup and was hospitalized for months, or most recently a flare that happened over a year and a half ago leaving me completely bedridden, needing of a wheelchair, and SEVERE pain. i warned my employers that i have serious illness and that i NEED to sit because overworking my body can cause serious, or even fatal flareups. they didnt care. now im in the longest flare of my life and on several HEAVY medications just to survive. i wish employers cared more about their workers health. you dont look more professional JUST because you stand. you look unprofessional when you overwork your sick employee and they faint, knocked out cold on the floor.

Although I think the answer is obvious but could you make a video on “What if there was no pollution?”

The honey switch was smooth

To lay down is to set something down on the floor like a mat or to place something like a book on a table. To lie down is to rest your body on the floor or on something else. Therefore the title should be, "What if you never sit or lie down?" Lay is also the past tense of lie which makes things complicated for people. The title could also be "What if you never sat or lay down?" This would change the title to past tense, but it would be correct. I just wanted to point that out because it's a common mistake.

I work in lawn maintenance for apartment buildings 5 days a week for 10 hours a day. I tracked my steps with an app and I'm averaging 15 - 24 miles of walking every day while at work. After a few years your legs and body gets used to it.

What if you never scratched your itch

no more asking people to get the remote for me i guess

I want to thank you for making great videos for my boring life. It really brightens my day coming here and watching your descriptive videos :)

Transition into the plug for Honey was so damn smooth...

There are yogis in India who practice a tapasya by never sitting or laying down, sometimes for the rest of their lives. The West has a very limited understanding of human potential.

I can't stand by myself cuz I had talus fracture and blood circulation stopped there and i can only stand by others help

"Lie down," not "lay down." The latter is a transitive verb and needs to take a direct object, e.g., "I'm going to lie down" vs. "I'm going to lay down a carpet."

The transition to the "Honey" ad was so smooth! lol

I don't like standing too much I so enjoy sitting down and lying down on my bed.

but im already sitting down 😲

I learned how to stand properly. It hurts my body more to slouch than to stand straight. But retail sucks a lot because of having to stand up and move around a lot.

I haven't watched yet but my dad works in a factory and stands all day, his feet are beyond callused and his heels split open every other day. He also has severe neck/back problems. I feel like the video's gonna cover that but idk

What if the Asteroid never hit the earth in the time of the dinosaurs

What about if you never stood up?

The animations are so fluid, great work!

This guy make you think twice about things you never thought you'd be thinking about 🙇🏽

I would kneel, hahaha.

I guess my school is slowly killing me...since I only stand and move for going to my different classes

When I worked retail, 15 minutes wasn’t enough of a break. I would be scheduled for 5 hours, but work 6-8. I was 15 pounds underweight, and I would wake up in the middle of the night in utter pain. My legs would cramp up, and it would take forever to relax them back enough so that I could fall back asleep. I was in my early 20s, so I should’ve been healthy.

*Make the video "what is everybody would use cryptocurrency"*

What if Stephen hawking wasn’t disabled

Since working Security (3 years), my feet swell daily, developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I have been hospitalized for my back multiple times, but I am very passionate about my job.

So proud of the infographies show U are gaining more viewers everyday and you are also getting so many sponsors! Keep it up👍

What if all countries isolated themselves? Like they won't interact in anyway with other countries.

nower days no military video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When I was a heavy meth user i would stand up to 90% of the time and pretty much never lay down. My feet would get super swollen. I did this for many years. I did suffer any problems. I would see the doctor on a regular basis because I accepted the fact that that shit might kill me and I still didn't like taking a break from it. It's been years since then and I am still fine. Don't believe everything you hear.

my local hairdresser has been busy and standing for years , he has many burst blood vessesl and issues with his back and legs due to 9 hr days standing for over 20 years , moderation is key , listen to your body

How does Robert do poop?

Hey

the transition from video to advertisement was SO PERFECT

Heres a video suggestion the effects of eating and walking all day. This is a trap I fell into and I felt terrible like I hadn't eaten at all. People thinks walking and eating is ok but if the walking is too much what you have for lunch is a negative. Please show how unhealthy it is

I've never been earlier

not first 😥

Me: never sit down Chair: am I a joke to you

You legit just completely wrecked the body positive movement with one fact.

What if Jimmy Neutron was never born?

Ultra thicc

Watching this while sitting at my 8 hour shift getting ready to get off for my 8 hour rest and repeat the next day 😂

You forgot loggers. We rarely sit during the job. And we don't just walk or stand. We hike and carry and pull heavy things such as long 7/8 inch cables. Not even the half of it.

22nd!

I cant believe Honey needs advertisement. Its saved me a ton of money I literally feel like they deserve me to advertise for them its badass for real. Infographics gets two thumbs way up. I only have two thumbs so thats 100% awesome. Also Robert is brave as hell.

I dont think and can't even imagine how standing more will cause heart disease faster than sitting. He references a study of 7000 people including a bunch of variable factors, but there's like 8 billion in the world

1st

I'm a cashier and have to stand for 5 to 6 hours straight, unless my shift is 6+ hours in which case I get a break half way through; distracted by my work, I usually don't notice the negative side effects until after my shift is over.

9.30-12 hours on my feet a day and I usually get bruises on my feet but there’s no chairs at my job at all

I've been in food service for 11yrs standing for 7-8 hrs a day 40hrs a week. I have varicose veins, plantar fasciitis, knee and lower back pain. I would not recommend this line of work to my worst enemy!

Your ability to link into your sponsor is amazing, so fluid.

I have 2 hard jobs which is UPS and housekeeping plus after I get done with my second job I go to the gym 💪🏽

One issue you left out is callous on your feet. I worked a 10 hour job where I had to stand on concrete and it gave me bad callous on my feet. It's so nasty and uncomfortable.

It's not the standing that's the problem. It's the lack of movement, exercise and overweight. If you stand for a long time, you need extra focus on those things. For example if you have a job where you stand alot, you probably need to walk back and forth to your work. And generally extra focus on weight and exercise
