No. Keep your regular desk and go live an actual life, outside, doing real exercise. For example I'll now go for a little MTB ride.
Additionally do buy a chair that's actually been engineered for long sitting hours and do not sit for too many hours in a row without doing at least some exercise.
A standing desk is not a substitute for a poor chair or for actual exercice.
If you do actually exercise and have a proper sitting chair, I kinda dispute the utility of wasting money and time moving your desk up and down "because reasons".
- chaostheory 3y agoThis is akin to saying that exercise is a poor substitute for a good diet. You need both. Also doing one but not the other is way better than nothing. Using a standing desk should not be mutually exclusive to working out and vice versa
- lghh 3y agoFalse dichotomy! You should certainly do all the things that the parent comment is saying, but I still enjoy and recommend having a standing desk. Be sure to get one that is tall enough for you. We have cheaper ones in the office than I do at my home office and they don't go quite as high as I'd like. I'm tall, but not that tall.
