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 switched to standing-only for my work desk about 12 years ago. The first 3 weeks were agony; my hips hurt so much. I stretched a lot, which helped some. Then suddenly it was easy, and ever since I can stand for hours, no problem.

    A squishy mat is a must-have, and I also have a footrest to be able to change up my posture through the day.

      Yup. Nobody talks about this! You have to break in your legs and build some strength, but it does get better.
