I’ve been trying out the standing thing thanks to you guys. I just got a custom rig going where I put my laptop on this shelf of mine. I just hated sitting down in front of a computer screen all day, and I knew it couldn’t have been that great for my health.
The standing thing…I definitely feel better. My back is always in a more natural and stretched position. I am a bit ADHD sometimes though, and when you’re already standing, it makes it easier to walk away haha. But you are more focused on the task you’re doing when you are doing it. It’s only my 2nd day, so I think I just have to get used to standing. Right now I’m still kinda anxious just standing around.
Also, I’m able to lift some light weights while I’m standing! So I can keep my muscles working at least a little bit. Nothing too crazy, because then it would distract from the task at hand, but just some 10lb weights to lift to keep the blood flowing.
I’m hoping I’ll get rid of the anxious feeling after a few more days, and can stand more comfortably. If so, I will reorganize my room to accommodate my new standing lifestyle, and perhaps even get rid of my computer chair.
