I'm not a fan of standing desks for myself - I inevitably find myself leaning or unfocused. Dependent on your situation, but the things that work for me:

- see a personal trainer once a week (over Zoom). Forces me to show up, don't have to be disciplined.

- Set a daily step goal. Start where you are, and try to add 500 a day per week.

I think walking is the best exercise because everyone knows how to do it, low risk of injury, and you won't burn yourself out.

One thing that might help with the leaning: get a standing desk with a horizontal cross bar. This gives you another position where you can put one foot up and prop yourself backwards from the desk.

The leaning itself is a function of TimeStanding > CurrentStrength. Even if the horizontal bar reduces 50% of the load, you'll still end up doing more standing reps/work if you have a cheater bar. Eventually you may not need it at all, but it's also great for keeping the desk from wobbling.

UpLift's commercial line has them and the extra cost is well worth it, imho.
