Hey Tom. No I decided to try it when I joined a new company. I've been itching to try it (and didn't bother when working from home - laziness). I didn't do it for health reasons other that the nebulous "it's better for you to not sit all day". I'm overweight and I was hoping it would make me lose weight more quickly too (Spoiler - not in the slightest :=)
However I will say this, being overweight I don't get any backache now that I can recall. I feel my posture has improved and this has had some benefit on my overall all back strength. I don't recall getting back ache when I sat but perhaps that was posture too. What I can say is that perhaps it's worth a try. For me it was a month before I truly felt OK - not comfortable, OK. Now it's very comfortable to sit or stand (though my desk doesn't change - so I move to a sitting desk very very occasionally for a few mins to do sitting down stuff like reading paper or meetings. regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ On 19 June 2017 at 18:33, Tony Wright <tonyw...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > No, not the back for me.
