I have thought about getting a raised table from time to time so I can stand while at the computer. Mostly because I have a habit of pacing a little when I'm thinking something through.

Doing the hokey pokey and throwing your whole self in and out may be in order to shake it up if you are parked in a chair. Thanks for the study results.
