I’ve advocated for this several times here, but I very much recommend a standing desk + walking treadmill to anyone with a desk job - especially if you WFH.
I got one years ago. It takes a while to get used to it. At first, I could only use it while doing menial tasks. After a year or so I could use it all of the time.
You would think it would tire you out, but at least for me it does the opposite. I get mentally tired if I’m not using it. I can also eat like I’m a teenager again and not gain weight. My leg muscles are pretty nice now, especially my calves. I’ve started to put some 3d printed risers under the front to incline it to work on my butt muscles more and make it something of a physical challenge again.
Most of all it’s just time efficient. I get exercise without needing to dedicate any free time to it.
Unfortunately my treadmill broke last week and it won’t be until next week that I get a new one. It’s really bumming me out and making it hard ti get through my work days.
