Some of us have switched tostanding or walking desksto avoid thepossible damaging effects of sitting all day.

But these desks may not be a cure-all, for a few reasons.

And results on whether exercise reduces the health risks of sitting are conflicting.

The subjects werent accustomed to working on a treadmill, though, so the effects may be temporary.

When I tried a standing desk, I found it was harder to think.

Then again, perhaps I should have tried it for more than ten minutes.

If youve tried a non-sitting desk, how did it work out for you?

Was there a difficult transition period, and how long did it take to get over it?
