I dont think shifting your weight around really counts as movement


Why not? I have hip flexor problems and knee problems. I used to have a standing desk at work. Being able to constantly shift and go from sitting to standing was really good for me. The small movement prevented my muscles from getting too cold.

It was also great for my posture.

But then again, I didn't switch to a standing desk to decrease my mortality rate.


I think it counts as "incidental" physical activity which has been studied for its health benefits.

It does. That's what yoga is.
