AFAIK, standing all day isn't any healthier than sitting all day. No idea about the last panel tho ...

Pure anecdote, but as someone with a long, shitty back, I definitely noticed a marked improvement in how my back felt when I switched to a standing desk.

Maybe that's part of the reason I can't sit still too long, for I too have a long, funky back.

My back feels better, but my hips are killing me

I'd get pain in my feet (flatfoot) and my lower back about one hour in.

Are you standing all day, or are you swapping between sitting and standing throughout the day?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I stand all day. When I first switched I alternated when my legs got tired, but that only lasted a couple days.

You’re suppose to move around throughout the day. Being sedentary is what makes it unhealthy. Standing in the same place all day is as bad as sitting in the same place all day.

Offices are bad for our health.

Hybrid desks are where it's at. As soon as I start to get uncomfortable sitting in up like a meer cat. Then twenty minutes or so later back down I go.

A Home Assistant standing desk controller exists. I don't have a standing desk, but if I did I'd have it automatically rotating every half hour.

I heard hanging all day can have some adverse effects
