Burning calories at a desk.

Astropilot:
This is is interesting. I'm not overweight so I don't need to do this for calories, however I agree with Alkaline for back problems.

I think it would cause back problems actually.

But you're standing up with an erect back rather than slouching in a chair.

Unless you're a -- laid back kind of guy :D

Well Sabb was right in a sense. Your head does weigh a lot so it can add pressure to your shoulders / spine.

More or less what I was going for. Extended periods of standing (especially in the same position the entire time) can cause a lot of stress/strain on your back and shoulders etc. Over time it's known to cause problems and I think can wear down cartilage in your spine and neck? Not certain about that though.
