Most movement-break advice fails because it asks too much. Short, varied, low-effort breaks beat ambitious ones. A practical guide to the kind of desk-side movement that actually fits inside a workday.
There isn't a magic number — but there is a useful one. A practical look at sit-stand switching cadence: what the ergonomics research says, what works at a real desk, and why standing all day isn't the goal.
