Rather than remain sitting at my desk all day, I have a stand for my computer made by ERGOTRON which allows me to either stand or sit to do my computer work. It's a stand (cart?) similar to those used in hospitals or medical offices which nurses can wheel from room to room when checking on patients.

The treadmill desk station is a bit much for me - I'd rather not stand ALL day - but the stand I have is awesome! In the morning when my energy level is high, I raise the keyboard/worktop and stand for a few hours. Later in the day when I'm tired of standing, I lower the keyboard/worktop and sit in my chair. It's great.

I don't plan on switching jobs or companies any time soon, but if/when it does happen, you can bet I will be asking my next employer if they would provide a similar workstation. Sitting all day sucks!

I telework 3 days a week and made myself a treadmill desk (aka 'deskmill') for home. I shameless and unapologetically stole, um, I mean, 'leveraged', the design from the following blog: http://www.dowerchin.com/2012/01/23/diy-treadmill-desk-under-50-no-tools-required/

I use it mainly when I have no scheduled phone meetings (excludes 'listen-only' meetings) and when I'm doing a lot more reading than typing (e.g. learning, research, reviewing, etc.) I can easily burn >1,000 cals during 95m session and will sometimes do 2 sessions a day. Technically I could do a lot more, but then it'll mess me up with my net cals, etc. I also used it this weekend while doing personal finances.

Here's a pic from that blog:
