Stand Up and Work Challenge: Day 10
It’s Day 10 of your 28-day transition to a standing desk.
And today’s assignment is…
Stand for 120 minutes. That’s right, a full two hours, or 25 percent of your workday. Those small daily changes are really starting to add up!
How’d it go?
Leave a comment below when you finish your allotted standing time for the day.
Anything goes here. (Well, within reason.)

Made it through OK today. I’m noticing that my feet seem to hurt a bit when I first start standing, and after a while the ache subsides. I’ll have to see if that’s a consistent pattern.
I’m running behind due to some health issues, got to catch up!
Today was ok. Good even. starting to feel like this will work out.
Went really well today.
I had a busy Friday and had to skip it (though I had plenty of running around), so I was worried about today. It went better than expected, though I had to sit for 5 minutes about halfway through before finishing. I’m kind of surprised it has progressed with straight time, not standing twice a day for an hour+ each time. That seems to me like it might be an easier transition.
Finally got back to this today. 120 minutes was no problem.
Feet are swelling some, today. That’s new! Probably not good, but not like alarmingly swollen.
No problem….did go and get coffee and stretched, which loosened up the hips
I don’t know why but two hours was a breeze… the other times were difficult… go figure!
Same for me. I even missed yesterday but today’s 120 was relatively easy. Only a little back fatigue at the start. Um, also, has anyone else experienced that standing makes one more… regular? I’ve had to go to the toilet a few times more than usual.
I don’t suppose we’re allowed to break this up, huh? Cuz I started at 11, went to lunch and then stood from 1-2.
And for all of you whose feet hurt, make sure that you alternate standing on each foot like a flamingo for a minute or two every once in awhile. It’s also a good idea to get a little box or something to put one foot up on (Channel your inner Captain Morgan)…Just important to keep moving around slightly.
