> ...who have been sitting at their computers... > ...sitting down all day... I am 32. I noticed after years of sitting down that my back and hips began to ache and my body started feeling oldish. So I recently (two months ago) switched to a standing desk and feel really good. Back pain went away and I feel engaged and on point all day long. I do sit down for lunch and do a couple stretch breaks to break things up but in general I am sold and dont plan to 'sit at a desk all day' for a long time.

Was it difficult to adjust to a standing desk? For some reason, I found it difficult to focus while standing up. Also, is it something that is easily accepted in a company? Isn't it viewed as eccentric in more conservative workplaces?

  Give your back a few days to adjust to the change. First days might hurt a bit. After that you'll begin to feel your back muscles strengthen. Its worth it IMHO. Possibly get a motorized sitting/standing desk so you can shift postures. Any good company will accept whatever makes you most productive.
