- rubicon33 9y agoNo, I don't. My understanding is that the mats are for reducing foot pain? I don't really have any foot pain. Standing for long periods is just generally uncomfortable and exhausting for me. I find that I end up resting my weight on one leg, because it's less fatiguing than standing. I know what I would be thinking if I were you - This guy must be so out of shape if he can't even stand at a desk for a few hours! That's what's so confusing about all this to me... I'm not overweight (BMI of ~19), I exercise 4-5 times a week, I eat healthy... I just find standing for long periods to be difficult and uncomfortable. But I would really like to do it more, because I do have back pain at night, and standing DOES help reduce that. So... maybe I should get one of those mats, just to see if it helps?
- seanp2k2 9y agoI got a few coworkers into balance boards for standing desks. The FluidStance works well for this. My Goofboard is fun for surf training, but too distracting to use while trying to GSD. https://fluidstance.com https://fluidstance.com we just ended up doing a group order for a few more interested coworkers.
