[quote=Anonymous]Trying to get a sense of workplace culture re: standing desks, treadmill desks or just getting up and moving around every 30 minutes. It was this article that got me thinking about it: http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/11/health/sitting-increases-risk-of-death-study/index.html I do have a friend at State Department who has a coworker with a treadmill or pedal-type standing desk. Im not sure she received it for a special health concern, as she appears to be quite fit and healthy, but in any case it could be some time before workplaces yield to the findings in some meaningful way. Unhelpfully, the data are not clear on best practices to remedy the problem, and currently getting up every 30 minutes is the only recommendation. I work from home and have complete freedom in that regard, but Im curious if anyone does this break every 30 minutes thing and is it something you feel comfortable doing, is it still very rare that anyone does it, etc.[/quote]
