I work from home and am setting up for hours of streaming on my off time. I absolutely love my UpLift desk (V2 72x30). It makes a world of difference for my days at work where I have to spend 90% of my time at the desk! Having a good standing pad also helps. I really want to get a motion board so I can move my hips a bit when standing too.

I have a standing desk and it doesn’t necessarily help me out. A lot of research has been done that shows it’s actually worse for you to stand a lot during the day. Your body needs overall rest rather than converting to a standing desk.
@IAmBPala
@IAmBPala 8 місяців тому
In theory the best thing to do is keep moving and changing positions. It is proven that the body likes to stay in motion so blood flows and keeps moving to the muscles and rest of the body. You can get chairs that are meant for this.

Just to note sitting for a long time isn't good for you but standing at a desk ISN'T "healthy" either. Healthy is you taking a break every hour, walk around your space/home get a drink maybe step outside if you can and get 5 mins of fresh air. Standing desks are nice but it won't fix anything you can't already do with a normal one.

@3choblast3r4

I have one, and I kinda regret not getting a regular desk. First of all I will never really use it standing up. And it's a nightmare with cable management since now you need cables that have to all be long enough for desk if you want to use it standing. But more improtantly, I cheaped out and got the most affordable one on amazon, which was on sale during black friday. The top plate is like cm thick and it's holding a monitor gas lift arm and a prett heavy, very expensive monitor. The plate is also made fom multiple pieces so I'm really worried it's gonna end up breaking after a while and I'm gonna have a very expensive, broken monitor. I'm planing on buying a new desk, but I just need it to be relatively low. I feel like most people buying this just buy it because "it's kinda cool and maybe I'll stand sometimes" .. you likely wont and if it's a desk wtih a lot of equipment on it you wil likely regret it. It's why this guy's PC is on his desk and not on the floor, because the cables likely wouldn't reach that far, and even if it does you might attach something shorter and forget about it, then raise the desk one day and have the cord pull and damage your pc etc. ps. I mainly got it because I wanted my desk to be adjustable so I could sit in a proper 90 degree posture. Turns out, I'm just using it on the absolute lowest setting and I would actually prefer it to be a cm or two lower but it doewsn't go any lower lol I also have an extremely similar chair to yours (sihoo m18). Absolutely love the chair, insanely comfortable, I use the lumbard support on its lowest settting and one unfortunate thing is that the chair has started squeaking
