Huberman: Do THIS If You Seat All Day #huberman #health #fitness

In Andrew Huberman's speech, he discusses two strategies to counter the challenges of being at a desk, a situation he personally dislikes despite his love for learning and aversion to sitting still. Firstly, he explores the idea of using a standing desk, a solution he implements by stacking boxes. Secondly, he delves into the intriguing concept of the "soleus push-up." The soleus, a unique and flat muscle beneath the calf's gastrocnemius, constitutes only 1% of the total human musculature. Huberman explains a study where sedentary individuals performed a simple heel raise, termed a "soleus push-up," leading to a significant increase in blood glucose utilization and a reduction in insulin levels. This mimicry of walking, specifically targeting the soleus muscle, suggests a potential strategy for combating the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
