When a standing desk is great.
« 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.

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.

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

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..

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  :)
