Whenever I’ve tried standing desks, I’ve always ended up giving up due to discomfort.
I get lost in what I’m doing and end up slumping or leaning to one side. This puts excess strain on my hips, and my knees take a hyperextended pounding.
That is until my friend Dave told me about wobble boards.
They are circular pieces of wood with a ball at the bottom. When you stand on the board, you need to keep your legs and core engaged to be able to balance effectively.
I bought one, and now I’m able to “standing desk” all day without pain or discomfort. It’s also great for a fidgeter like me as it’s something for my subconscious to focus on to help me listen more actively in meetings.
