'bout those stand up desks...

I've used one for about 15 years now, I alternate throughout the day standing and sitting, I could never go back to a standard desk and sit most of the workday
same. pretty much when i grow restless or my butt starts going numb
They are healthy, but not every employer offers them. I think it is a good thing to stand for part of the day. Sitting all day makes us fat.
Yes, but have to be careful not to stand all day or in negatively impacts my knees. I alternate standing and sitting all day.
Nope. I get about 13-15K steps in every day. No way am I going to work standing up.
I've sat on a couch almost every day for the last 4 years
Yeah, from what I have read, standing all day is just as bad. The best thing is variety, stand for awhile, then walk around, sit for awhile, then walk around….too much of anything is bad.
I accomplish this by drinking tons of coffee. I’m always up either going for more coffee or going to the men’s room to piss so I never stay in one place too long….
OP’s Mom gives better beej’s when the desk is raised a bit. Too low gives her neck cramps and we can’t have that!
I have a stand up desk and a walking treadmill. I stand some, sit some, and usually walk some. I try to walk in the morning and after lunch.
I herniated a disc at L5/S1. A standing desk has been a huge help in rebuilding muscle. For a while, sitting for longer than 10-15 minutes was quite uncomfortable. Ever since moving to a standing desk, I’ve found I’m able to sit comfortably for longer periods of time.
Not for me. My employer has some but I get up and walk around a lot so no desire
I would say more people than not in my office have ones that can raise and lower. The idea of standing while working is not appealing to me, at all. Outside of in-person meetings and certain in-person functions of my job, I can come and go as I wish, or walk around the office or skywalk as I wish, so I can get up and move more than many, I suppose, so that detracts from any appeal they might have.

Yes, and it's awesome. Usually stand for a couple of hours then sit for a half hour and rinse and repeat until the end of the day.
My job requires a ton of printing, scanning, filling, etc so I'm always up and walking around anyway and standing makes it much more efficient.
