"WFH hacks so I don’t have to keep getting up, and my hips hurt from sitting all day — how do I fix that without a standing desk?"

Worth naming the tension here directly: hip pain from sitting all day is largely caused by exactly what fewer desk trips would give you more of — long, uninterrupted stretches in one position, which shortens and tightens the hip flexors. The real fix is movement. But there's a way to get some of both: a wedge cushion that opens your hip angle while seated, and an under-desk pedal exerciser that lets you move your hips and legs without ever leaving your chair.
