Does standing desk burn calories, or is that just marketing hype? I’m thinking about switching but wondering if it actually makes a difference.
Yes, standing desks burn more calories than sitting desks, but the amount is small. Studies show that standing burns about 0.15 more calories per minute than sitting (about 8–10 extra calories per hour).
This is equivalent to the calories in a small carrot or a small piece of fruit, and won't lead to significant weight loss. It needs to be combined with exercise and a healthy diet later on.
