You’ve heard the warnings: sitting will kill you.

Studies have connected being sedentary for prolonged periods of time with everything from increased risk of breast and colon cancer (make sure you aren't ignoring these cancer symptoms) to obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and neck pain. That’s bad news for the millions of Americans with a desk job.

The good news? There might be an antidote: the standing desk.

The company my son works for has adjustable desks.  They can work sitting or standing.  The ops managers have laptops, a regular office and an office on the floor so they can keep a discrete eye on things.  Son suffered back injury in the Army, so he finds the ability to change up very helpful.
