This may be old news for some, since this kind of setup has been popular with programmers at <a title=\"Mega-List of 50+ Bay Area Startup Resources\" href=\"https:\/\/limetech.co\/startup-megalist\/\">local startups <\/a>for a while. However, as was recently covered in <a title=\"Inc. Magazine Standing Desk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/articles\/0502\/Action-Tips-for-Healthy-Employees.html\">Inc. Magazine<\/a>, standing desks and active work environments may now be gaining more traction in the mainstream. This follows the publication of more reports on the dangers of sedentary work habits and rising rates of obesity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While standing desk setups may not be for everyone, it is worth consideration, especially if your team members do long stretches of research, coding, or data crunching.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning how to set up a standing workstation, check out these articles on <a title=\"Boing Boing Standing Desk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2011\/04\/18\/standing-desk-protot.html\">Boing Boing<\/a> and <a title=\"Smarterware Standing Desk\" href=\"http:\/\/smarterware.org\/7102\/how-and-why-i-switched-to-a-standing-desk\">Smarterware<\/a>.
