It is said that if one practices the ancient 'horse stance' all knee problems will cease. Both yoga and oriental martial arts teach the horse stance as a fundamental exercise. The U.S. requires soldiers to stand at attention with high aptitude. In the White House, Marines are fixtures near doorways. Standing fixtures accompany high ranking politicians as they boards an aircraft.

<h3>Illness</h3>
There are many associated illnesses brought about by excessive sitting. Few dare blame illness on long bouts of standing. This is especially true when uncomfortable shoes are not a factor. So why then do so many people complain of being on their feet for long hours.

<h3>Why</h3>
One reason might be the weight of ones head. Often people who complain of being on their feet are working and thus not hyper focused on say a band on stage. Rather, when standing accompanies work, heads are often rapidly turned to communicate. Poor body posture may result from lack of awareness and the need to endure situations.

<h3>Benefits of Standing</h3>
In either case, an enjoyable standing experience or an undesirable work environment, standing is better than sitting. Here are few reasons why:
<ul>
<li>(as mentioned above, with good form) can heal sore knees </li>
<li>strengthens the heart</li>
<li>improves circulation</li>
<li>ends prostate problems</li>
<li>opens and loosens tight hips</li>
<li>builds stronger legs</li>
<li>improved circulation is an asset to concentration and brain health</li>
<li>improved overall health and end illness from extended bouts of sitting</li>
</ul>
