Same!!! When we were in the office I actually used my standing desk. At home, literally never. I tell myself it’s because I just naturally move around the house more so I don’t need it. Maybe true or maybe it’s just sweatpants life. We may never know!

99.99% sit. I tried standing once when I first got it.

F*ck, just bought one..
Did you guys use standing mattresses too?

I stand quite often. Probably 30% of the time and I've had it over 2 years. Helps my back

50%, 50%. You are supposed to sit 30 min and then stand 30 min

Get a under desk treadmill. I sometimes walk or stand all day

Any you'd recommend? Saw a bunch of random brands on Amazon.

It helps to schedule stand time - eg 11-12. I love mine!!

Depends but around 70% stand and 30% sit.

I stand during every meeting. So some days I stand more than I sit and others I only stand for an hour or two. It’s great for “Stand Up” meetings 😂. Also, make sure to buy a mat/pad for your feet that you can move around on a stretch on. This makes it better to stand up.

Literally same. Hardly ever stand. If I do it’s for a short time before my lower back starts hurting 😂

I stand about 30-50% every day, the rest I "sit" but on one of these height adjustable ergonomic stool things from IKEA so the desk is still up quite high and my posture still way better than in a regular sitting position.

Suggestions?

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
