Stand-up Desks? OMG I'M WORKING AND STANDING (1 Viewer)

[CGRdrJoe]

stand an hour, sit an hour, stand an hour, sit an hour.... I like that people that would normally stop and chat about nothing now just walk by and let me continue on my work.

Standing again this morning, and working. No need to go to the gym today I guess. Back feels Great!

Yea, no doubt, standing has to be some serious cardio work.

I've noticed a subtle benefit of standing. Our cube walls are five feet high. When I'm standing, i can see over the cubes and naturally, people can see me. When the bigwig director comes in Monday mornings, he always sees me working at my desk and acknowledges me. I think that is a great thing subconsciously. He sees no one else as they are sitting down and he passes by their desks. 

He's probably wondering why you're always standing instead of sitting down focused on your work like everyone else.

Ok, I've been using one of these for four months now.  I literally stand at least 6 hours/day while at work, and I'm fatter and in worse shape than ever.  Now you may say it's the booze or the ####### delicious peanut butter Easter eggs, but I was promised by "them" a life of health and weight loss if I only stood while working.

#### them.

we switched a little over a year ago...but the fixed sort, not a variable one.  I stand probably 30% of the time....

works fine to me, plus I like sitting high, lording over the lessers.

Been on the road the last few weeks.  Feels good to be back in the office and standing at my desk today.  I'm still around 3 hours a day standing (out of a 9 hour day).
