On: Why Standing Desks Are Overrated

[malnourish]

Interesting. I'm always a fan of research challenging wisdom, although I'm not sure who really thought standing alone was exercise. I've found greatly improved comfort with my standing desk at work and I want to upgrade my home desk once I move. I hope that the lack of evidence for specific health improvements doesn't encourage companies to stop offering the desks.

I'm waiting for the desks with integrated threadmill and bicycle.

Ooof, apparently no one wants sweaty and loud coworkers.

Treadmill desks are already a Thing. Haven't seen one in a big corporate office, yet, however.

Ironically, the NYT has one: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/04/technology/personaltech/t...

Maybe not ironic, since walking is exercise :-)

I've seen some in offices, but they are shared resources that you can use as needed instead of someone's permanent desk.

If they can solve head and arm bob, I'm all in.
