Threw $200 at a standing desk converter and my back is still mad

Got that electric standing desk converter off Amazon thinking it would fix my mid-day slouch. Turns out my real problem is I just don't want to stand for 8 hours straight. Anyone else drop cash on ergo gear that didn't actually solve the issue?

Did you actually give it a proper shot, or did you just stand there Waiting for a miracle? I been using a standing desk for 2 years now and the trick is to mix it up, not go full statue mode. You gotta move around, shift your weight, maybe do some calf raises while you read emails. Standing still for 8 hours is DUMB, that's bad for your circulation. The real problem is people think a fancy desk will fix bad habits instead of just using it right.

wait you just stand there for 8 hours straight? no breaks, no sitting down at all? that's wild honestly i thought people switched back and forth like every hour or something
