I’m going to start standing-sitting while working. Got a desk that can do it. Was curious how it has affected other people.
I recently got a huge standing desk at home, 2 meters wide, the computer sits in a holder on the side, it has excellent cable management, and is really durable.
I mostly sit at the desk, but being able to stand when I am tired is amazing.
Aslo, doing cable management under the desk is sooooooooo much easier when you can raise it up and roll in under it on your chair.
I got one of those balance boards that uplift sells, it’s actually kind of fun
Why are they wearing high heels for a posture infographic?
They can’t reach the standing desk without high heels. /s
Gender norms be like that
Yeah come to think of it why is one of them nazi saluting?
No she’s not, but she’s pointing at that fine ass through that glass panel
I used to sit at my job and got constant heart blockages and mini-strokes. My acne got so bad I couldn’t see.
Then I started standing at work and now I have a huge dick and a big square lantern jaw like Captain America!

Crocs. Stupid-ass looking crocs will absolutely save you when at a standing desk. Or really, standing for a long time on any hard surface like a concrete office floor. The next best thing would be high-end business shoes designed for comfort while you deliver powerpoint all day, or just hiking boots. But crocs are really the most comfortable and are easy to slip off for more appropriate dress shoes if you’re in an office.
Thicker and softer than any standing mat, they freaking deliver. And you can move around without having to be perfectly positioned in a small area. Also, there’s no mat to get in the way of your chair when you sit down.
The nubs on croc insoles are not that great and start to irritate me after a bit. Maybe there are reduced-nub alternatives out there.
There are all kinds of off brands. Many don’t use the same kind of foam though so they’re not as dense. Many are softer.
I have an electric standing desk (converts in seconds) and imo it’s extremely overrated and doesn’t actually do anything.
The science behind this is extremely unconvincing other than “standing is fun sometimes” which is great but you shouldnt force yourself if it doesn’t work for you.
What actually works - raise your monitor, lower your keyboard, get a vertical mouse, get a ergonomic keyboard with a track point, get compression socks if you’re older and do some yin yoga / stretching. These things actually work. Just listen to your body as you can feel the exact strain and discomfort if you actually pay attention to it.
Also posture is not harmed through idle poses, you don’t want to keep your back straight at all times - that’s stupid. Main enemy of posture and all muscles is strain and this is fixed by stretching and exercise not standing with a straight back.
I have the same, and I mostly got it to be able to make minor height adjustments while sitting, but now I love it.
I only stand for a few hours of work, but it’s a major comfort difference to me compared to the office.I would think this would be the key aspect of the standing sitting desk. Being able to move positions all day long.
I don’t understand why everybody seems to want motorized desks instead of stool-height office chairs.
High stool?
