From Sitting To Standing While Typing: Why You Need To Change Your Working Habit

**radio667** · 06-25-2012, 10:45 PM

from makeuseof.com ............... Writing full-time keeps me sitting at a desk nearly eight hours a day. My office chair is not one of those Lexus ergonomic models designed to take away the pain of sitting, and though I’ve tried using “take a break” apps like Time Out , I often sit way too long for my health.

So after reading articles and studies about standing while typing, I decided to try it for myself. This article is about my experiment with changing a habit we take for granted.
