From Mark’s Daily Apple

A lot of people who embrace the standup workstation thing think the work stops once you stand up. But, like barefoot runners who toss the shoes and rush into 10ks and marathons and end up injuring themselves, workers who ditch the chairs and spend full workdays on their feet without thinking about how to stand often end up in pain. They don’t realize what kind of stress standing – often in the same place – for hours at a time can place on their bodies. It’s not enough to just stand. You have to do it right, and you have to make adjustments and move and stay on top of things to do it right.

Here are 15 tips: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/15-tips-for-standup-workstation-users/#ixzz2SoxU3ASM
