Back in late December, I blogged about my New Year's resolution of using a
standing workstation. Well 6 months later, I can say that I have stuck to it. I can now work standing for about 6 hours a day, with a break during lunch. Overall, I definitely feel better and more energized, but I do not have concrete metrics to show that my health is improving. There are however more studies that have come out on the subject. Some warn of the dangers of sitting, yet other warn of the dangers of standing. Go figure!
