A study involving over 83,000 adults indicates that standing for more than two hours a day can increase the risk of circulatory problems and offers little cardiovascular benefit. While sitting too much is also harmful, experts suggest moving every 30 minutes to maintain or improve health.

Standing desks don’t do squat, per new study

And such, the “squatting desk” concept is born

heh… interesting, I know a few people who swear that they felt better overall after switching to one of these adjustable “standing/sitting” desk setups.
honestly though, I don’t get the whole “move around every 30 minutes” story… for me personally, when I get going on a coding problem, there are times that I honestly need an hour or two of uninterrupted time to get it done. if I had to take a short break every 30 minutes, just the mental shift from moving away from and then returning to my PC would cause unnecessary delays… and those delays add up quickly over a day!
in my honest opinion, there is no “one size fits all” approach to any of this, everybody needs to try different things and stick to whatever works best for them.

I don’t know a single person who bought one of this tables to be standing all day long, sometimes when we’re working we get a bit tired of sitting down, the back hurts and etc, so we change to a standing position and vice versa, when the legs start hurting too, we change to sitting down, these kind of tables allow for that change in behaviour, instead of being only sitting down all day long

i’m squating right now, in real time
