Sitting all day is dangerous to our health. It leads to poor blood circulation, muscle atrophy, stiffness, back pain, and a whole lot of other issues. Experts recommend taking frequent breaks wherein you stand out and walk around to counter the effects of sitting. Some even advocate for the use of stand up desks.
These desks are often adjustable. You can sit or stand depending on your preference. You could move between the two positions to allow your legs to gain strength gradually until you can fully commit to standing throughout your work shift, if you are so inclined.
Standing can help keep you alert and productive. You are less likely to engage in idleness. You are free to move around instead of being confined in a chair. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes if you do this.
