What are the benefits of standing vs. sitting at your work desk

The average American sits for 13 hours a day.  Some people sit longer than that.  The end result is a rise is illnesses such as obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, back and posture problems, wrist pain etc.

Being more active is key to health. A standing desk can help you burn more calories, improve your posture and health.  Moving around is also important and some have installed threadmills to walk while they work.  The goal is to burn about 10,000 calories per day.  On a thread mill at an easy pace of 1.5-1.8 mph this can take 2-3 hours.
