I'm a few days in, and my feet are pretty sore. I've been trying to get into it slowly, with sitting breaks. What has surprised me the most is that I don't feel more drained at the end of the day - if anything, I have more energy than before.
edit: one negative I have noticed - which I hope goes away - is with concentration. I'm having a hard time switching between tasks. Once i'm on one, I'm fine, but for some reason my brain is resisting starting new tasks more than when I was sitting.
- mkeung 13y agoLook into getting a fatigue mat. I had the exact same issue when I started, and standing on the mat helps reduce the soreness. edit: I used http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dollars.html http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dolla... to get a standing desk for cheap
- dabernathy89 13y agoYeah, I picked one up from Bed Bath and Beyond and it's helped a lot. First day (without it) was brutal. edit: funny, I also hacked mine together with Ikea parts. Looks pretty good too.
- Pxtl 13y agoA pneumatic drafting stool will go up to standing height. Draftsmen have been using standing-height desks and stools for ages. This is my personal approach - I can switch back and forth between standing and sitting as needed.
