I have been using a standing desk for over a year now. I use an Ergotron Work-fit Sit-Stand workstation. It allows you to move from standing to sitting just by pushing down on the desktop, or pulling it up.

When I first started with the standing desks I found it quite difficult, I felt like I couldn't concentrate with out sitting. It took a couple of weeks to get used to it, legs were sore for the first little while. Back pain I had from sitting went away. Now as far as physical condition goes.. not so good. I am quite heavy 330+lbs so if I can do it anyone can.

So what works for me now is a combination of sitting and standing. I go through phases of mostly standing or mostly sitting.. but I think a good balance between both is the way to go. I stand for a few hours, then sit for an hour or less, then back again. Some days I could do 6 hours no problem.

My advice is to try it until you get used to it... You will want to stop, but just give it some time. At least a few weeks. Just my 2 cents..

Hope that helps..
