How long can I stand at a standing desk?

Question

Accepted Answer

Most ergonomists recommend alternating: 30-60 minutes standing, then 30-60 minutes sitting. A good anti-fatigue mat extends comfortable standing time to 60-90 minutes. Never stand all day — alternating is the goal. An electric standing desk with memory presets makes switching effortless.
