The "flex your knees" comment is right on. It's common knowledge that if you stand up straight (knees locked) for too long a period, you are vulnerable to fainting. Something about the blood being partially cut off by the straight-leg posture.

Didn't see Kimmit's episode, so I don't know if this was related to posture.
