As the youngest of three siblings, I was always the one that had to sit on the floor when we had visitors, or when we visited others. I guess over time it just felt normal to me. I find it very awkward and difficult to sit 'normally' in chairs. I sit in chairs with my legs crossed or some other weird position. I have a bed and a desk. Neither of which I use. I sleep on the floor, i draw and paint, and read and write on the floor. I use my computer on the floor. And guess what, I'm 42 years old and I get mistaken for someone half my age. I'm the most agile, flexible person I know.
my grandad used to sit on the floor...right up until he left us in his late 80's...he was the most flexible old person i've met...a quiet man but always there to help and try and mend things...he was brilliant with us all as kids....like he was a big child himself really...i'm sure this was linked to his sitting on the floor...he was on our level...as we grew up he was more awkward with us...i think he thought we were all crazy, i think he thought this about all adults and he was right....i wish i'd spoken to him more about his life and learnt more about how he really thought, i've recently moved my desk to the floor...it's much better....making the change with my bed next just need to declutter the bedroom first
wow this means so much to me, thank you for super kind words, i really have been having fun with these ads and I'm so glad they are being received well LOLLLL
Your videos are fun. Thank you. I'm a holistic wellness consultant and complete health nut. I'm 55 years old and sleep on the floor nightly. My legs and whole body are so much stronger since I started doing that. I was already in good shape, but getting up off the floor so many times a day took my strength and health to the next level. I love it!
Oh that’s so awesome! Umm I just saw your lake pole dance video and it’s amazing!!! You move so gracefully and it looks effortless! Whatever you are doing keep doing it lol! Also do you have a website or something? Please email me I’d love to learn more about what you do as a holistic wellness consultant
Yes, Yes, Yes to staying healthy and limber for as long as possible! We really have to change our mindset about the ageing process! Thank you for bringing that up. Love your updates and how you present them! Keep’em Coming! (Now to go order that floor chair.)
One of the coffee shops I regularly visit has a floor table with cushions and I love it! I'm saving up to buy the desk you have, but I love being able to change positions throughout the day with my sitting standing desk too.
that desk is really interesting. i will have to see if i can get one, or something similar in Bangkok when i move to my new studio. my day job is as an art and design teacher for an international school. i built a standing desk in my studio space at school and had the traditional desk removed. I should give some thought to a floor centric working space. it could be a fun project to do with my senior design students.
One thing I've wondered since you scored the floor-to-standing desk is which one you find yourself using more? Or if there is one you prefer more. I'm way too poor to afford the techno-desk, and am still undecided between floor or standing desk >_
I feel like maybe you can just jury-rig a standing desk…. I used to just put an upside down ikea storage bin on my regular desk so I could stand. Try something out like that and see how it feels. For floor desk try a coffee table or a small breakfast table thingy and you can then still kinda alternate it just will take a bit more elbow grease hehe!
I'm glad it's working for you, it seems to make you happy. I would need physical therapy and a nap after working on the floor. Great commercial, smooth moves!
I feel like it’s another version of a regular chair hehe. I like the idea behind it esp not being a 90 degree angle for your hips and legs but it definitely is not a position I feel like you should stay in very long.
I just found your video, it's very intersting! I recently bought a new office chair 😂 because my previous one was 15 years old so it was about time... I'm also want to buy a new desk with adjustable height. It's a struggle to find a good one. I am a short person and all the desks are too TALL for me!! Even the adjustable ones don't go lower than the regular ones. The ones that go lower are usually more expensive. BUT what I wanted to say that I NEVER saw a desk like this that goes all the way to the floor! My mind was blown! Too bad it's in only the US. I'll keep searching, maybe I can find alternatives where I live as well. Sitting on the floor sounds intersting. I usually sit in the "indian sitting" position, even in my office chair. I think it's one point better than sitting regularly. You have a charming personality, I'll keep my eyes open for more of your videos!
For me Natasha is the female version of Chris Tucker :D Each of your videos really lifts my mood and make me happy. Thank you for your effort, producing such great content.
I love your video and have been eyeing that desk! You mentioned back pain. I found Dr. Turner Osler's TEDx Talk - and the QOR360 Ariel 2.0 - really helpful there. Thanks again for sharing!
Hey Natasha, Although I currently don't have all the options available to me (no personal testing experience), I fully agree with your approach to have the best of all worlds (which might even include a good normal office chair, but idk). I "only" have a sit stand desk and an office chair. However I would love to try a floor desk (kinda tried this with sitting on the floor in front of the couch for a while :D) AND a treadmill. This is why I'm commenting (i usually never do this).. Have you heard of walkolution? They make walking desk treadmills that don't need power and a very quiet (and very expensive). Although depending on power consumption of powered treadmills the might even out over a longer usage time. You teased the topic of your next video to be about treadmills, so it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the walkolution. Personally, I love the concept of it, but havent tried it yet. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing walkolution with me but oh my word when you said expensive I didn’t realize it was that expensive.. that’s like 7x the Uppeal desk I have hahahahahahahahahahahah deng! I am honored that you commented and shared your thoughts with me! I am very excited to share the treadmill with you guys…. It’s nice and compact and can fold up when not in use but so far whenever I want to sit on the floor I just put a cushion and sit on top of it lol!!
@@natashatheresa Whatever works! If you sit comfortably on it, why do the work of putting it away every time you switch position? :) Have you seen the 1 year review of an electric walking pad from the youtuber electroBOOM? He's really struggeling with the maintenance :D Yes, the walkolution is expensive, no question. Buut I do like the fact that it's purely mechanical without external power source. The quite operation only really matters when you have others that could be bothered by the noise, since I personally always wear NC headphones, even at home. Then again, as you mentioned already, the size of the walkolution is not even close to yours that folds.
I tried a standing desk, but I found that I just can't type standing up. Wrists are in the wrong position. I wish I'd tried a floor chair. I got a floor chair with great back support. I'll try and grab the link.
I started to sit on the floor as well. For me, it's not my back. It's my neck. Sitting without head rest is a torture. We don't have that floor chair where I am, so I bought a cheap gaming chair, cut the legs off, then attached some wheels 😂
I can't believe it. Today, after several months undecided, I convinced myself to go ahead and buy a standing desk. Now you showed me there is a standing desk that also allows sitting on the floor! I'm undecided again, as I think this type of standing desk is not sold in Brazil. Wait or go for the regular type (chair/standing)?
you don't need a back support when sitting on the floor. People have been sitting that way for thousands of years no problem. Once the muscles in your back, hips and pelvis get used to it you'll be fine. it's the constant use of chairs with backsupports that has made your back weak in the first place
You are totally right! I actually don't even use that chair anymore but it was a great transition chair. Your comment is actually something I talk about in my latest video about floor sitting, thank you!
It’s a two man job to get it to where you want it😅😅 . Me and husband had to bring it up some steps and then flip it over after I installed the legs to the tabletop
@@natashatheresa im moving alot so i try to go for things i cant lift / do alone, its more freeing and less stressful but im trying to have a desk i can do floor and off flore work and yours seem perfect 😮💨 do you have a link ?
@@samlab2935 oh yeah I totally get you! This def is a bit hard to take around lol. The link is www.uppealdesign.com/NATASHA_50. But yeah maybe don’t get it if you really move a lot lollll. Or… check out Lilipad… I just found out about them. It’s a bit smaller not as robust looking, but it might be more what you need and it fits under beds. Maybe it weighs less.
@@shilittletsure yeah same but then I got concerned when I realized I have all the markers of hypermobility and that doing this might actually lead to injury hahahahagagagagagggagaga
i wonder, how do you have the innate ability to move? i kind of get sucked into tasks so that, even if my position is uncomfortable, i stop moving until my brain power is used for the thing, making my body ache in the process XD maybe this is the result of growing up with these regular seating ways... but it perplexes me nonetheless
i can see things going that way as well! for me, my legs usually go tingly if i stay in a position too long so it makes me want to move LOL. but maybe you can set a timer to keep you moving every so often if you dont' remember it on your own hehe
@@natashatheresa ah, true! the tingling is the key for me too, i just assumed you might be able to notice before that lol. maybe i'm normal after all hahaha. thank you for replying!
I like it, maybe when you stay stand can use (buy) a treadmill and have 3 position…, if you need held with your workout and that rings…🙋♂️ what my TAW video or we can work together… I hadn't seen the end haha💪👏 👏
