Anyone have experience getting used to a standing desk?
My employer offered a varidesk to anyone who wanted one. They were so popular we had a wait list, but I got mine today. So far I'm hearing to ease into it, starting at an hour a day then gradually...

Haha no, you always seem like you think you know it all, and I have no patience for that kind of ignorance tonight. Lots of fit normal people have given up on using a standing desk because they...

People who stand up at their jobs all day and aren't used to standing all day experience discomfort until they're used to standing all day. They can't ease into it, but I'm sure they would if they...

I have a desk at work that can be raised and lowered. I prefer to stand for about half of my day. I'm on the phone all day so I get very little exercise at work. I can do squats and lunges while...

That was what I was getting at. Standing shouldn't be something you have to ease into. Tons of people have jobs where they don't sit at a desk all day and they don't have to ease into it. I used to...

I think there is a difference between walking all day and standing all day but it's possible to do either one when you have to. I don't sit at work but I walk around so it's ok. When I had to stand in...

I think there's a difference between standing and walking all day, too. There's more pressure on the balls of your feet when you're stationary. When I worked retail, I much preferred to be on the...

Heather and Kim, thanks for the input. Glad to hear our small group doesn't have more stories to tell about bad backs etc than I've already found by googling, lol. I'm beginning to suspect that part...

I'm on my feet 8 hours a school day during 9 months of the year, standing in and strolling around the classroom and I will say, that after 12 weeks of relaxation during the summer it definitely takes...

good luck. If cost is an issue, I imagine it would be cheaper to get a full-time standing desk instead of one that raises and lowers, if that would work for you. One thing I could see being an issue...

Yeah, a stationary desk would be the way to go & I don't need a tall chair. I rarely sit in the classroom, unless it's @ the desk of an absent student. lolI don't conference @ my desk... I push...

I would think you'd have to ease into going from sitting in a chair all day to standing all day. And I wouldn't compare standing in one spot in front of a computer, to a job where people may stand but...

No one is saying they are the same thing, people are saying if you're in decent shape it shouldn't be too strenuous to stand for the day even if you used to sit. I think if you do need an adjustment...

They'r'e amazing, but you do have to figure out what's right for your body. I normally start the day sitting as so I can eat and drink my coffee and then move to a standing height. But I normally only...

I'm in decent shape (walk 5-8 miles a day, lift 3x a week) and I think I'd still need to ease into standing all day. I'm not used to standing around a lot.
