I didn’t catch the episode where you guys talked about hourly “exercise” and stand up desks, but I was glad to hear the community feedback from this episode. So I thought I’d share what I used sporadically at Seminary and more often now in ministry to work standing up. See link below to my Google+ page. It’s a bit bootleg, but “sitting is the new smoking,” they say. It’s a tabletop podium thing I found at a thrift shop. I also invested in a rubber mat to stand on since I’m usually in churchy shoes at the office.
In light of the hourly “exercise” thing, I have my computer’s clock speak to me the time at the top of each hour. That’s my reminder (for when I am sitting at the desk) to stand up a walk around for a few minutes.
