I'd considered a standing desk for some time, but when I first saw the FluidStance, I knew that was the timing point. It wasn't just the upright that appealed to me, but the movement. I always figured that if I was at a standing desk, I'd just end up wanting to pace.
Most people see my board and assume it's wobbly like a balance board. But the motion is far more subtle. Most of the day, I don't even think about being on it. What I do notice is how much more I twist and move my joints. The most subtle change comes when getting off the board after a full day and you notice a profound sense of improved balance. I suspect this is from the content triggering of proprioception muscles in the lower leg. What ever it is, from trail running to skiing, the result transfers directly into my sport life.
I've been standing at a series of desks for years. With the FluidStance I can stand longer and my joints ache less. That's a win/win in my book. The FluidStance takes a bit of getting used to, but once I did, I love it.
I never realized how much I adjusted my body as I was typing while standing. I only realized it once I stood on the Level. But it wasn't too long till I realized you can do the same thing on the Level. I've gotten pretty good at moving around... side to side, front and back. On that note, it would be silly, but I'd love to see some races... head to head: who can traverse 10 feet the fastest?
If you're serious about standing you should try one of these.
