Using a stand-up desk

I built a stand-up desk some years ago for Michele, but I have decided to give it a chance and see how it works.

I will take note of the different feelings I have with it during the first weeks. Let’s see if it works or not.

Week 1:

  • I was able to work on it during 3 – 4 hours per day, this week only 3 days.
  • I added a pillow on the floor to help me with the pain of the heels (I have to take care of them).
  • The low side of the back had some muscle aches.
  • I was able to attend calls and not being distracted. I can stretch, so this helps.

Week 2:

  • not too much time on the stand-up desk due to some circumstances.

Week 3:

  • I have been able to stay at least 3 – 4 hours working and moving to do other things.
  • I have been running and I feel the legs are a little bit tired.
  • The low side of the back still feels muscle aches.

After 3 weeks of work on this desk, I’m adapted and I can say that now there is not issues with the posture or the pain in the back.
