Title: When a standing desk is great.
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 02 March 2016, 18:12:37
Right after dinner.. you're all stuffed.  but because you're a computer addict, you MUST use the computer..

This is the perfect time to hit the standing desk.. 

Doing what you love, while properly digesting all them nutrients. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/info-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862510)

Um.. hahaha i've tried this..  but it's not practical to stand all day ONTOP of a regular workout..

But if you don't workout at all.. I guess it could be done..

BTW, walking is known to be beneficial for the guts. Standing is ... not really walking, but anyway.

Is this why every time I run my 5ks I have to take a mega poop?

pretty sure that's just because the up and down motion increases internal pressure.

Oh man.. One more thing you can't do at a regular desk..

If you get fragged on the internet,  @ a standing desk, you can readily Jump up and down to vent that anger..

Can't jump up and down at a regular desk..

Your computer addiction is suspect.

I just tend to hit the desk in frustration. I wouldn't trust a height adjustable desk to withstand that force on top of what it's already carrying.

I poop greatly and I almost never stand. Hypothesis disproved.

Standing desk is great for Morning Computer use..

Standing better evenly distributes blood flow after waking..


Also, when I sit in the morning, I almost feel like going back to sleep..

Exercising WHILE working is not necessary, 

When I first started using my standing desk, I was feeling -the-burn- after 20 minutes..(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/sweating-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862522)

I went and bought a tall bar stool so I can switch after about 2 hours..   My desk isn't easily height adjustable..

Also, I got a cheapo bar stool, which is quite light weight,  in retrospect, this is good because you can easily lift it and move it out of the way.. 

Whereas, if I spent the money on an expensive one,  I'd have a hard time switching between sitting/standing.



If you're a very-very heavy guy though,  Prolly don't want to get a cheapo bar-stool, it might tip-over or explode on you..

I could lose a few pounds but I'm only at 201lbs atm so no barstool murdering here haha. I alternate between a barstool and a normal computer chair  :)

I hear adjustable height standing desks are fantastic for sex.
