If you've been meaning to make the switch to a standing desk but just haven't given up your comfy office chair, the folks at DeskHacks have some pointers. They're also running a challenge that will remind you to stand daily, ease you into using a standing desk, and eventually, make standing as easy as sitting ever was.The challenge works like this: You sign up, and DeskHacks will email you a daily reminder to get your standing time in, starting off light and eventually getting longer as the 28 day challenge progresses. Cobble together a standing desk of some sort that makes you comfortable (we have some options to consider), and get started. If you need help, we have some tips to help you ease into the routine.Like many things, switching to a standing desk is a habit change, and changing habits is something you have to work at. It's not going to come from willpower alone, and few people are able to just say "I'm done sitting!" one morning, and use a standing desk ever after. DeskHacks explains that to really make the switch, you need to start small and practice every day—and the Standing Desk Challenge will help you do just that. If you're not a believer in standing desks, that's okay too—remember, moving around regularly is key.How to Finally Make the Sweitch to a Standing Desk | DeskHacksPhoto by Paul Houle.

Standing And Treadmill Desk DIY
I began experimenting with a standing or treadmill desk last summer and have finally gotten around to making the full conversion. Here's how I did it, if I can you can do it too. 
I found the treadmill cheap on Craigslist. It's not important what kind of treadmill you choose but it makes your life easier if the hand rails are simply bolted on. I found the desk locally. I got lucky and found an adjustable desk for only $50 locally.
