I have both a standing desk and a desk treadmill. Personally I think you have to be a bit of a masochist to use a standing desk alone for more than 15 minutes per hour. I have used anti fatigue mats, massage balls under my feet and objects to alternate resting legs on and it never clicked until I bought the treadmill.<p>My ideal is walking 1-2 mph while working. Doesn't distract me from work and by the end of the day I find I've walked 5+ miles mindlessly.
Do we really need an article to explain that standing != exercise?<p>Are there really people who think that if you switch over to a standing desk you no longer have to exercise?
After dinner I stand while watching tv until my wife complains that she wants me sitting next to her.<p>Also stand with my leg out (Karate style) back and forth.<p>Helps with digestion (this is a substitute for walking after dinner which I don't have a practical way of doing). (Time: Usually about 50 minutes...)
