You stay upright and have good circulation while strengthening your lower back; They are uncomfortable to say in regular/intended position for long periods of time though. You can get many varieties of kneeling chairs — some are not much different from standing at all (maybe more suitably referred to as standing chairs), while others (more common ones) are lower, giving more of a chair-like feel (although it's not good if most/all your weight is on the seat cushion and should probably be adjusted) Standing without a standing chair doesn't make sense to me for efficiency. I don't think regular standing is the most optimized posture, it might not even be better than sitting. A person feeling more efficient while standing than sitting could just be due to the poor ergonomic setup they had while sitting. In particular I find that a good keyboard height is probably the most common thing to not easily set up properly.

Scallops 1 Post July 11 2014 15:25 GMT #26 I'm a professional video editor who stands up at least half of the day at my editing bay, and I'm also an avid health enthusiast and barbell lifter, so standing up while playing Starcraft 2 was a no-brainer for me when I took up the game. The benefits to standing over sitting are legion, and there is really no downside besides your own personal discomfort, which can easily be overcome with a little willpower and time. I find that the added total body mobility also gives my elbows and hands better mobility, just as it does in video editing, thereby increasing my actions per minute, as opposed to games in which I am sitting. Personally, I stack several thick books on my desk and place my keyboard and mouse on top of them so that my arm positioning is right, and when my legs or feet get tired, I just move the books off the desk and pull up a chair. Soon enough I'm ready to stand again. My computer screen is very large, as large as most televisions, and I position it on very thick, wide books so it stands at a slight downward angle from my natural eye line three feet away. Besides just being fun as hell, Starcraft 2 is intense mental exercise, and if you ask anyone with a cursory understanding of health and fitness, they'll reinforce the importance of the mind and body connection. Do yourself a favor. Stand up at your computer. When you roll that army into your enemies' base, you'll feel that much more like a champ.

MaryAguila 3 Posts August 14 2014 23:49 GMT #30 I love the idea of a standing desk, but my brother uses one and he says his feet are killing him by the end of the day. I don't want to swap back pain for foot pain. Has anyone had a better experience?
