Standing Perspectives

  • “I always had a challenge getting to my required burned calories per day. I have always been involved in a health improvement program at my office and wear an activity monitor that tracks my calories burned. Once I started [standing] in my office I noticed that my calories burned per day went up by about 400. It seemed that I was reaching my daily goals without even thinking about it. Who would have thought such a simple thing would make such a huge difference.” ~ Clare H.
  • “I’m standing right now because of my [standing workstation]. I hate sitting all day and I’m burning calories while working!” ~ Rod G.
  • “LOVE LOVE LOVE my [standing workstation]. I’m standing now and it feels great to get my butt out of that chair! All my workouts, yoga, pilates, etc. aren’t ruined at my desk!” ~ Cindy J.
  • “My back REALLY hurt today; was good to come home to my [standing workstation]. I wouldn’t have been able to work on my blog without it—being able to stand kept me working!” ~ Jean P.
  • “I have been using [my standing workstation] for a month now. It has had a dramatic positive impact on my productivity and wellbeing. Being able to stand while using the computer is the way to go. I have much less fatigue at the end of the day. I really do get more done because of it. There is much less stress on my back and neck muscles. I won’t sit and use a computer at work anymore.” ~ Brad Davis
  • “I love my standing workstation—I’m burning 300–500 extra calories by standing all day and my back is SO HAPPY!!!! Small changes can = big results!” ~ Chris Freytag

  • “I was so tired at the end of the day while sitting. Being sedentary really got to me. Been standing for 3 months and love it. Still keep getting funny looks from people in the office. Well worth it!” ~ Jared S.
  • “Just wanted to let you know I'm still loving my [sit-stand] desk set up. I've started training again for my fourth half-marathon and I'm noticing that my legs (hips, ankles, knees) feel much stronger.” ~ Mike B.
