I was lazy with my standing desk and not using it in the intended state but this entire week never sat down once the entire time I’m at it and honestly can’t notice that I’m not sitting. 🪑

My next setup will be a rocking stool so I can rotate between sitting and standing. Read standing the entire time is also not that great for spine

Definitely important to keep moving and not stand continually for long periods. Flexing calf muscles (tip toeing etc) always good and ensures that fluids don’t accumulate around the feet and ankles (oedema) - I get a mild form of this if I am on my feet for too long and static. The same applies when sitting for long periods too.

I tend to move around naturally because I’m usually blasting music 🎵

Always good to do! 👍🏼 One thing I’d do at work was to elevate one leg up on my desk (shoes off, so sock choice was important 😅) and alternate. Used to piss off a bunch of people 🤣 but it was damn comfortable.
