Posted: Sep 5th, 2020 - 11:03 am In Reply to: Foot pedal use at a standing desk - 40 years in

I bought a cheapo standing desk from Amazon. I can use it for maybe 1 hour, 2 at most with a foot pedal. It's enough to break the fatigue from sitting for long periods.
However, I do find it too difficult to use a foot pedal while standing for long periods of time. I don't see any way to rig it up so you are not literally standing will all your weight mainly on one leg. I don't have much coordination using my left foot to work the pedal. I guess one could adapt over time.
As another poster said, you will definitely need a pad to stand on or supportive shoes or else you'll kill your lower back.
