When I get home I'm pretty much standing until after dinner is all cleared away, then I'm sitting the rest of the day!</p> <p>It has been difficult to stand for long periods of time or exercise with this pregnancy because baby is head down and putting lots of pressure on my groin area. The pain is excruciating after a day out and about... I can't even get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without crying out in pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167506 Thu, 24 May 2012 11:32:47 +0000 MaisyMay 167506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a 9-91/2 hour shift at work, I'm lucky to sit for 30 minutes (on lunch). The rest of my time is on my feet. I do this 5 days a week.<br /> Make sure you have shoes that really support your feet! I've had stress fractures in my right foot twice because of so much standing and walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167504 Thu, 24 May 2012 11:32:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 167504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that much because I work at a desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167466 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:59:11 +0000 lilteacherbee 167466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm up and down all day, but mostly up. At work, I'm standing for most of the day, but I'm also on the floor/at the tables with the kids a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167465 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:56:30 +0000 mrbee 167465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Wow, 9+ hours of standing!!

Maybe 45 minutes if I don't exercise that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167447 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:46:34 +0000 Alivoo01 167447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays - not much since I sit at a desk all day.</p> <p>Weekends - I stand 9+ hours each day working at our shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167427 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:38:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 167427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much, we got for a nighly walk and I cook dinner and that's about it! Week days I'm at a desk, I do get up and stretch every hour or so but it's pretty sad how much time I spend sitting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167425 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:38:02 +0000 Andrea 167425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hardly ever with a desk job. </p> <p>You're going to be in such great shape in no time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167423 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:36:49 +0000 heffalump 167423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not very many at all. I was wondering how you'd feel after all that walking and standing. Id be so sore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-hours-do-you-stand-a-day#post-167419 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:34:58 +0000 mrbee 167419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stood a lot of yesterday and today I woke up sooo stiff and sore! I am realizing that I need to work out these standing muscles in my hips, legs and core, since I don't usually stand that much.</p> <p>How many hours do you stand a day? </p>
