anyone here have one?

I think sitting down too much is starting to fuck up my back and legs. My body feels like an old mans body.
anyone have a stand up desk at home?

why? Are you a maitre de or something?

thats actually very healthy for you

Then your legs get tired and the knees give out.take a break every half hour or an hour if your sitting for long periods of time

yikes,,,

try this.

G-Tech Neber ergonomic PC chair

I just ordered a new corner desk for the small BR upstairs I am turning into a second office. I am planning to use it for my chat/cams/streaming radio station projects. The room is fairly small, so even though I prefer large L desks like I have in MY office. I had to find something smaller.

Something I would be comfortable at when I have to use it, more importantly will fit in that room, and have some space. I settled on this. It is being delivered this week, as well as jdavis's computer.

I guess that would be helpful if you have a business that requires you or your staff to input something standing up.

This looks like a trap chair from the movie SAW

That would be cool for people who work in garages and places like that.

Go ahead. It is a totally stand up desk. We had a drink once at a show.

Get one that you can raise and lower.. one day you might feel like sitting down

Then I do not think that a desk will really help you all that much.
Instead invest 5 bucks into a electronic timer of some sort with an alarm. Hell even an egg timer would work. Set it and have it remind you to move your ass every hour or two. Stand up, stretch, take a walk to the kitchen and drink yourself a glass of water. Something or other.

My own little ritual is to take a break each day for tea. Will start up the electric kettle and prep a small pot. Gather everything I need while it brews. Go somewhere else that is not the PC and enjoy that brief 15 to 30 minutes, making sure I just relax and clear my mind. Just about every time I do this once back at the computer I feel as if I just started almost, hard to explain. Just very energized and more focused. This break does not include the lunch break I also take, found not taking that either fucked shit up.

Useful in other way.

Oooo #2 and #1 would be the best thing ever.

I don't like standing.

i don't like it :)

I Think it must be worse if you stand up...

Some cool chair! Got a link where to buy it ?

its somewhere on this site http://gtech21.net/
its in japanese or something so I cant figure out how to find it

I'd get bored standing after 3mins, then go look for a seat...

How about you go to the gym in the mornings and workout? You can hit the weights and the treadmill....Then you can come home and sit down ALL DAY with no worries...

I used to have a problem with my hips locking up...I would sit for days and days at a time and if you do that, eventually, your body says fuck it and you will barely be able to walk...

I don't do that now...I go to the gym at least 5 days a week...I went this morning to lift weights even though I don't really feel too good today...However, I worked out, hit the jacuzzi and the steamroom, and showered....

Now I'm sitting here for the rest of the day and I'm taking shots of vodka, have my vaporizer set to 360, and I'm about to play some Xbox360.....And it's GUILT FREE because I already got my workout in.....Plus my hips don't lock up anymore.

yeah i really should. im getting kind of chunky.
I filmed a scene last week for my site and I looked like a blimp.

I love the corner desk I have but now I find myself lacking the leg room. I have to be able to stretch my legs out and it's tough to do with walls there. If I back up my chair, I can barely reach the keyboard.

Pro's and Con's I guess.

Thanks! I found the english button and a direct link on http://gtech21.net/english/product/p...ft=2&left2= 6 :thumbsup

That is a nice desk, I could easily work with that! Just bought all new office furniture for the new house. It's amazing how much shit one accululates!

Editor Walter Murch does all his editing standing up, he said once he started doing it he felt much better.

I think thats what I need.

I used to be on my feet for 6/hours a day at a previous job. I now enjoy my chairs that much more :)
