A quick addendum on fitness fads...
I've seen a lot of them come and go. The only item (or fad) I think is very worthwhile is the FitBit. I think that's a great invention.

Ours are all adjustable. Seating is adjustable, we purchased every kind of strange or interesting more upright seating solution for research. Almost everyone has still gone back to sitting. Not saying that makes it right, just that standing didn’t blow every bodies minds with health benefits.

But extended sitting has disastrous consequences for the hip flexor complex, adductors, hamstrings, and can also impinge rotator cuff/shoulder flexibility. Cycling, unfortunately, can exacerbate this... |

I am sure it has some benefits and I am also sure that people are capable of choosing the worst of the two options. We do have some relatively active people in the office, I wonder is a more active person benefits less from standing? Well, maybe not benefits less but doesn’t need it as much ?

Swimming laps, 3 times a week, will rid you of back pain as well as increasing your cardiovascular fitness and toning your upper body to match those cycling legs!
