Out: Standing desks. In: Treadmill desks.

New Study Concludes That Standing Isn't Necessarily Healthier Than Sitting Down All Day


“The problem lies in the absence of movement rather than the time spent sitting itself,” Hillsdon said in a statement. “Any stationary posture where energy expenditure is low may be detrimental to health, be it sitting or standing. The results cast doubt on the benefits of sit-stand work stations.”
So what are we left with? It looks like treadmill desks may indeed be the way forward. Just please promise us that human-sized hamster wheelsaren’t actually going to become a thing anytime soon.
