Right leg crossed over left, or left over right. Or perhaps right leg under left, or left under right.
â˜ï¸ I cycle through the above configurations and more, probably 50 times a day. But still, lately I'm finding that I get pins and needles more often, and for longer periods.
How do you guys find you look after your circulation when sitting for so long?
I've been thinking of getting a bench or 'ledge' to put at my feet to rest with my legs up, instead of tucking them under me or something.
I have a 3 monitor setup, so setting up a standing desk would be impractical.
I'd love some suggestions/thoughts for how others deal with this occupational hazard :)

I drink a lot of liquids (coffee, water, soda) and I have to take often bathroom breaks. I keep myself hydrated and I do "cardio" at the same time.
No really, I'm trying to start a routine each morning consisting of a few stretches and some easy gymnastic exercises. Also, I try to take regular breaks from sitting at my desk to help my eyes rest and to stretch my legs and back.
I routinely exercise every day before I even use the computer.
Also, when I'm using my laptop, I put it on top of an empty box (and put that empty box on top of a desk). By putting my laptop on an empty box, I immediately turn my boring old desk into a standing desk, which, of course, forces me to stand and keep my circulation strong.
How are your routines regarding getting up and walking around? And have you considered a standing desk?
Ya I've made it a habit to walk around every 1-2 hours for 10 minutes. Unfortunately, as mentioned I have a 3 monitor setup so a standing desk isn't an option ATM.
