I find that I can tolerate a lot longer on my feet walking than just 
standing or pacing the floor indoors. For one thing the ground is softer. 
For another the body was made to move, not stand still. A hard chair or a 
hard floor will give me pain in an hour or two tops. OTOH I can hike for 8 
hours and not experience pain. I get tired and after sitting for a while 
I'm stiff but I don't hurt.
