They made us stand for hours on end during national service. I consider it a form of adhd torture.

Not from ADHD but my knees will allow me 10-15 minutes of standing still until righty decides it's sit or move time or you get the knife treatment. I can walk and move around for hours with no issues. There was a push for standing desks at work and that just sounds like torture for me.

Standing desks are often accompanied by little stepping platforms or a balance thing

Oh for real? I just got one and I never thought to get these types of things. I've heard of anti-fatigue mats, but what are these things called (just so I can look them up)?

I never "stand" at my standing desk, I'm always moving. Ngl, I thought the whole point of these desks was that standing for too long is uncomfortable, so you naturally move around more, take more breaks, and go for stretches.

So for the fancy version of stepping, I like this one, but a standard exercise board can also work. For the balance boards, I never purchased one but I remember someone recommending this brand. ymmv
