Study on standing desks as part of a more active workplace - Week 1 over

January 15, 2018

So as promised here is an update on how Stephen is getting on. Remember he is using a standing desk daily and also working in a cold warehouse about 50% of the day:

His sleep pattern has completely changed mostly he reckons due to the extra activity and cold. In his own words he hasn't slept so well since he was a teenager.
Energy levels he reports to be higher although he is much more tired from around 9pm onwards. This he believes is due to the increase physical activity.
Appetite. An unforeseen side effect. Constantly starving apparently.
Weight loss. Yes 1 Kg so too little to mean much at this stage. We will have some stats after 1 month.
BMI, body composition, blood pressure etc we will have end Jan as we need more data points.
Back pain (he has issues). Massively improved. Si joint pain significantly reduced apparently.
Muscular pain.Yes. Tired legs and sore muscles by the end of the day.
