I have been a full time standing desk user at work for the last 4+ years and the greatest piece of tech I have bought to sustain this trend was a balance board. A little over a year ago I purchased a balance board and standing at my desk has been brought to a whole other level. My balance, core strength, and productivity have all gone up since getting one.

I was wondering how many others out there are standing at work, and doing so on a board?

Best.

Stand at the desk pry 70% of the time adding a balance board would add some more fun to work for sure . gonna have to give this a whirl .

I used to stand at my desk in the office and walk around while on calls all the time. Now with being on video 100% of meetings, it has plopped me squarely in front of my chair the last few years to stay in frame. I’ve now realized I miss walking around and talking. Maybe a balance board is a good compromise. Some of my peers tried it and said it didn’t stick, though.

Didnt there used to be a balance board company in the late 90s that were sold in skate shops? Some people could kick flip them stationary, IIRC?

I don't use a balance board, but some of my coworkers do. I've found that they're highly inconsistent with them though. Seems more of a novelty after the first couple of weeks for most people. I've found a lot of success with the Ergodriven Topo (https://ergodriven.com/products/topo). It works well for anti-fatigue and the landscape means I always have a new way of standing that gives some variety. Highly recommend!
