Is standing long hours really healthier than sitting? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_complications_of_stan...)

Personally, I feel both sitting and standing for long hours are uncomfortable and prefer walking. But a walking desk is hard to find for $22. I was able to build one for $80 using a used treadmill from Craigslist, free pallet boards made into a keyboard stand, and an old bookshelf to support the monitor.

What about a horse-mounted desk?
i've seen this recommended as an alternative before, is this close enough?

I've been waiting for a stairmaster, myself.
Sounds pretty uncomfortable to me.
