Office workers trapped behind their desks all day should push away their chairs and work standing up, recommends an exercise scientist.

    Sounds like a good plan to me!

    I've been doing that most of the time coz I'm more comfortable arranging my desk or cutting something while standing up and the time I sit is when I have to do graphic work on my computer.

    I try to stand up every once in awhile because I can't sit for 9 hours. Unfortunately my desk is not configured for long periods of standing. :sad: And also unfortunately my employer would probably not be amused at the costs to do that since I can't even get my workstation ergonomically evaluated anymore. Yay budget cuts!
