Strange, I have the reverse! Carrying to many heavy loads when I was stupid/young means that standing is actually quite a lot more tiring for me. I can walk for miles without problems, but /standing/ for a few minutes is really painful on my lower back.

There is a case of wear an tear on the mechanical bit of the body. Sitting has it's issues, but standing put a lot of unnecessary strain on many sensitive joints. You /will/ pay for it later on...

Getting older sucks ;-)
