Summary: Avoiding long periods of sitting down is important for one's health, especially in sedentary lifestyles or jobs

THE notion of a standing desk is not new as it predates computing; moreover, as Wikipedia puts it: There is a significantly higher mortality rate among people who regularly sit for prolonged periods, and the risk is not negated by regular exercise, though it is lowered."

"In addition, I've set things up so that the headphones and external speakers play music at the same time (this means that if I move around I can still hear the music)."I recently started working while standing at least some of the time; sometimes I also exercise while reading. I recently shuffled around my work layout a bit (removed one laptop as well) and reconfigured things for more mobility and movement. In addition, I've set things up so that the headphones and external speakers play music at the same time (this means that if I move around I can still hear the music). This is my personal story, I've heard many other stories, and maybe it can inspire other people to sit less while still working on the computer/s. The video above is neither planned nor scripted. It's not edited either and it's raw footage from a portable, wired webcam. So pardon the low quality. ⬆
