I was forced to make the change to standup desks due to chronic neck pain issues... worth every penny.

I'm going to start standing-sitting while working. Got a desk that can do it. Was curious how it has affected other people.
Standing a whole day usually doesn't make my body happy, but I regularly stand for like half a day. Sometimes I even switch multiple times. When I work from home I have a standing desk, hit unfortunately at work there are only a few. So sometimes I'm forced to sit all day which I hate.
Standing at home is also way nicer because I can move around without having to check whether someone walks behind me or something. It's nice to have some music playing and having the freedom to move with the rhythm. Or to just walk around a bit while thinking.
I had a standing desk at my old job and liked it a lot.
So when a desk riser came up at an op shop for $20, I snapped that up.
I tend to have the desk up when I'm gaming or studying, and lowered if I feel like I just want to chill and watch some YouTube.
However I wasn't aware of the sit-stand technique, so I may give this a go!
I got one of those balance boards that uplift sells, it's actually kind of fun
I recently got a huge standing desk at home, 2 meters wide, the computer sits in a holder on the side, it has excellent cable management, and is really durable.
I mostly sit at the desk, but being able to stand when I am tired is amazing.
Aslo, doing cable management under the desk is sooooooooo much easier when you can raise it up and roll in under it on your chair.
I got double hernia from working on the computer. I started doing exercises and got this chair called spinalis and was good ever since.
I used to sit at my job and got constant heart blockages and mini-strokes. My acne got so bad I couldn't see.
Then I started standing at work and now I have a huge dick and a big square lantern jaw like Captain America!
