The only people I see successfully using stuff like standing desks etc are people who are already fit and also go to the gym every day. For other folks like me the only thing that works is to take a proper 15 - 20 min break minimum every 2 hours and go for a walk, take a break every hour to get a glass of water or something, and exercise in a gym or somewhere at least thrice a week. Honestly this itself drains me!

It helps to start slow with standing desks. Having a desk you can switch between sitting and standing will allow you to work your way up to standing longer over time. It also helps to have the right shoes and a soft mat to help absorb some of your standing weight, since just standing is not exactly great for your body over long periods of time.
