    Absolutely! Recent medical studies show that sitting all day will kill you!

    When I went from field sales Manager to an in-house desk job, I noticed I would gain weight quickly. In my operations job - where there's tons of stress AND lots of sitting - I lost control of my weight completely! Now, I walk 10,000 steps a day, commute by bike whenever possible, log every calorie and make sure I don't sit for more than 90 minutes in a row.

    I asked for a standing desk for my office too. Site services had never heard of it. I even sent an article by e-mail to them showing the idea!.
