        I just go for a walk and stretch my legs when I have been sat at my desk too long. We have some of these desks at our office and soon as someone uses them and stands up you can just tell everyone else is thinking...what a dick!! 😂

        But when I’m standing I notice everything going on around me, more people tend to stop and talk, and it’s just generally more distracting in my opinion.

        As someone who has used one I don’t agree. I feel better - back & neck ache less & more energy - but my productivity remains the same. The benefits personally are health related, - less painkillers & days off sick.

        Also your actual report doesn’t back up your headline. The report confirms the health benefits, but gives no figures in relation to actual increases in work performance!

        I actually type slower when I stand. Remember when recruitment agencies wouldn't even put you on their books if you couldn't type so many wpm?..

        Bit difficult if you're in a wheelchair and being forced to work as you can raise an arm above your head.

        Hmm. Is it a coincidence that this comes so soon after another study shows little benefit from standing desks?https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/03/health/standing-desk-trutv/index.html …
