Standing desk decommendation and other recommendations to help for sedentary work

[Anonymous]

I want to purchase a standing desk for myself for work. Anyone have any recommendations?

Any other recommendations for a highly sedentary job? (I.e. helping prevent neck and back pain, helping to stay fit)?

Sit up straight. Desk yoga. Hell I shut my door and do 5 min of yoga here and there or squats or pushups every few hours. Walk long way to printer, copier. Take stairs.

I know someone on Capitol Hill who has started a stand up desk company with a treadmill underneath called Rebel Desks.

I got a new heights desk. I could push a button so it could go up and down and the equipment moved up and down with it. It is on GSA

Pp. but if you do this make sure the set up is ergonomic (monitor good height and keyboard at height so forearms parallel to ground)

Ooh I would love that. I built a standing desk for myself (basically a huge box to go on top of the existing desk) but I would love to have a treadmill underneath it. Not happening though. My office thinks I am eccentric enough as it is!

A treadmill desk beats a standing desk if you can do it - my feet and legs get way too sore from standing to work, but I have a treadmill desk at home and have done 10+ mile days with no pain (after having slowly built up to these levels).
If you can't stand or walk, set an alarm to make yourself get up every hour and do some brief but vigorous motion to get your body out of the sluggish sitting mode.

I got a Lifespan treadmill desk from Craigslist. It is great. I think having the desk and treadmill as an integrated set helps a lot with functionality and safety. I wouldn't use something that is thrown together.
