Yeah, I wish I had more options at work. At home I use an adjustable height sit/stand desk from Ikea, and I've a Lifespan walking treadmill (just the base) which really helps with body posture (it's impossible to rest in the wrong position when you have to keep stepping forward a bit at a time...)

I've suggested getting a treaddesk (treadmill desk) at work more than once, with co-workers, direct managers and company execs, but presumably as no one else has tried one, everyone looks at me funny when I ask. So I tend to split my work programming time between workplace and home as a compromise...

Then there's the Vivo Barefoot shoes I've been recently trying for increased awareness when walking, and better walking ergonomics... at this point it seems like a safe assumption that most things humans habitually do aren't ergonomically optimal. ;-)
