Got a great picture from Rich Stanbaugh on how he's working on building balance and foot/ankle/hip strength....with this great picture. Just curious...how do YOU work?

It looks like a blue piece of square foam. Do you stand on it while working on the computer?

Rich Stanbaugh · January 23, 2017 5:03PM

Yes - it is a balance pad. It's safely unstable to stand on it; forces all the little muscles relating to balance to work harder when you stand on it with one foot.

Very smart!

our new offices have working stations where you can work standing, I always use that in the afternoon

Rich's view view is much nicer than mine. I just started standing / sitting a couple of weeks ago. My work-space is messy... And sideways.....

@Brian Hagan If your standing desk is sideways...does that mean you are sleeping on the job?

Coach Patrick · January 23, 2017 8:55PM

My workstation is waaay too close to the fridge!!!

Brian Hagan · January 23, 2017 9:04PM

@Patrick - Well somehow is now upright.

I would be about 300 lbs if I worked in my kitchen.

Coach Patrick · January 23, 2017 11:31PM

@Brian Hagan I was able to fix it for you no worries...ok, c'mon you LURKERS...fess up!

I'm a sitter at my desk. I "get" the whole stand thing, but I'm not interested. I do enough standing during the rest of the day that I don't feel the need to do otherwise. Plus, since people come in to see me frequently (announced and unannounced), it would just seem weird to be standing.

I can open the fridge without even getting off the chair ;-)

I have a sit-stand desk that raises and lowers on demand. Most times I stand but on long workout days I'll sit part of the day.
Rich, where did you get that pad? It looks like a good idea.

Dave Gardner · January 24, 2017 4:29AM

Lots of sitting, hours at a time. I haven't figured out how to get the standing desk in here yet

Mark Maurer · January 24, 2017 4:33AM

@ Dave, maybe you should invent some controls like the Segway where you just lean your body to steer. Flying might get a lot more interesting or they may just say we'll let the computer do it.

Dave Gardner · January 24, 2017 4:37AM

Your right Mark! That's where we're headed, the inevitable march of technology slows for no one...(although this is one of our older ones lol)

Coach Patrick · January 27, 2017 2:12PM

If @Dave Gardner is leaning to steer, I hope he's been planking this OutSeason® with @Brenda Ross -- would hate to see what happens to the plane of someone who can't stand for very long.

Dave Gardner · January 27, 2017 3:00PM

uh oh, busted! been a bad boy and havent been doing my core work. Crap, how'd you know?! Do I have to go to @Brenda Ross purgatory?

Jon Bergmann · January 27, 2017 10:23PM

I do a lot of writing and spent 1.5 hrs walking on my treadmill while writing at the same time

I used to work at this desk, but now that its winter, the office is freezing, so I am working at the livingroom/diningroom table. Not ideal at all. I plan on moving offices, going to a smaller desk (trying to sell this one now) and then move into the smaller, brighter, warmer room.
