How long should I stand at a sit-stand desk?

Current ergonomic guidelines recommend standing for 15–30 minutes out of every 60 minutes of desk time — totaling approximately 2–4 hours of standing during an 8-hour workday. Start with 30-minute standing intervals as a new sit-stand desk user and gradually increase. Standing for more than 60–90 minutes continuously without movement increases lower limb fatigue and lower back strain. The goal is to break up static sitting, not to replace it with static standing.
