So after a couple of days how is the standing up desk working out for you? I’m looking at rearranging my own home office with a similar setup.

Cheers,

I think the fact that my feet can’t take standing up all the time will help me move about more. While I do longer builds, instead of tinkering with something else on the machine (reading news etc), I plan to go sit somewhere else and read, etc. Should keep enough variety in the day I think.

I still intend to go for my daily walks, I haven’t got a pedometer but I generally walk 1-2 miles a day, so that should be covered.

Thanks for the treadmill link, I’d heard about this but hadn’t seen a picture.

I would center screen on table, allowing more free move, while not typing. You seem to be “blocked” by the wall on you left.

I would avoid a Wall just behind the computer if you can, allowing eyes to accommodate on more distant objects, may also help preventing being too much ‘rigid’.

(being too rigid is very bad for legs circulatory system, kneeing when walking/moving is part of ‘pression system’ regulation.)

Some interesting bits on stand up desk :

A complementary idea, is to use a podometer, to check if you get sufficient daily walk. I used one until I get the number estimation right without using it.

Thanks for sharing the idea/setup. I really want to try stand up desk now.

@Jabberwocky – yeah, I heard this too – the stand-up desks seem to all have a rail in order to allow you to do this. I have a box under the desk that should suffice.
