Sit/Stand Desk: IKEA Skarsta Review

Wasn't there some recent study that both sitting and standing in front of a desk is not really healthy? We knew that about sitting but standing didn't fare much better. We probably need some treadmill-style workplace instead or taking walking breaks for 15 minutes an hour...

"Some recent study" - sounds legit.

Seriously though, I agree with you I think. As I understand it, you get the health benefits from moving and fidgeting more, not from just standing like a statue.

Ye olde New York Times article talks a bit about this: http://is.gd/3k4zJp

And that article gave me a fancier way to say fidgeting: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenes or "NEAT"
