In reply to Kim. Yeah, I saw the pics on your side! :) Personally I don't really get along with standing desks. I tried it, but found that my concentration is really off.

I don’t know what to think. This study went through our office like wildfire because most of use sit at computers all day and are required to maintain a particular look for customers. There is no getting up every 20 minutes or even every 2 hours. I don’t see my company being front of the line to allow standing terminals so we are looking at 8 hours of sitting broken up by 3 breaks. I would like to hope that the exercise I do is helping substantially!!!!

Great article Evil! If only more people would take this advice to heart and implement some more exercise/movement in their daily routines.
I learnt the hard way that sitting down too much will cause health problems. Good thing I got over my rut and started exercising and being way more active again 😀

Not because of any research (or lack there-of!), I decided that I need to quit sitting so much. I got a standing work station for my laptop and LOVE it!! And, now that I’m wearing a FitBit, I usually walk around or even jog in place when I’m on the computer!!!
