Your standing desk isn’t making you any healthier

Ask any old lady cashier about what standing in one spot all day does to you.

Of course it's another scam.

My cousin is a pharmacist and wants to quit from all the standing. Good money though.

Work from home (sitting/computer) and getting up for a 5 min stretch/move/dance break or a little housework every so often , seems like my best fit so far.

It's the same thing with steps. Once you hit 6,000 or so, you've plateaued the overall health benefit other than burning calories.

I think it was the Apple Watch that got us all pseudo-sciency about standing hours like pedometers did with steps. Article about this at link.

Adjustable height standing desks give you the option to spend part of the work day standing and part sitting; if you are tied to a desk, mixing sitting/standing is probably the best you can do for your body, or so a physiotherapist told me.

This was always a dumb assumption. Does anyone seriously think that someone working full time in retail, or as a flight attendant is any healthier than someone with a desk job?

Everything kills you eventually.

Follow the money, it made them a lot of it, suckers born everyday, like organic, ADHD, autism, sheeple.

I knew it. And after we spent tens of thousands of dollars turning executive desks into stand/sit. They are PITA for cabling desktop computers too. I'll be glad when this trend is over.

I never felt it was making me healthier, but you must admit that it's nice to have options besides sitting ALL DAMN DAY. I usually sit for two hours, stand for an hour, repeat. It's a welcome change.

Link please, so I can send it to all the ergo desk cunts at my office.

Here’s the actual study

I get to sit while I work… HA HA

Cashier** oh dear

I have an adjustable desk because I like to stretch my legs while I work sometimes. I don’t have any illusions about its health benefits.

I love them because I’m shorter than most and I can adjust my work surface to a good height.

My sewing setup makes me feel like Susan Dey at the organ - only I don’t have Lemon Ludes, an A-line mini dress, or white stockings.
