When I first saw this thread a few days ago, I assumed that the OP was a joke post of sorts (i.e. crafted to poke fun at ourselves). Whether or not this is the case, I personally don't think sitting in a small space for 12 hours is the end of the world. Sometimes, I spend 12 hour stints (with bathroom/food breaks) at a desk, which does give me more room to stretch, but the core activity is still the same: sitting.
