If you have back problems, get a wide desk, a smaller desk to place on one side, set up two workspaces for one computer, and place a treadmill under the one where you can stand.
Then alternate between sitting and walking with timers. I recommend 10 minutes of walking, 30 minutes of sitting, rince and repeat. Your back issues will be as much as cured, and you'll also not have to worry about heart problems because you'll essentially be walking a few kilometers every day.
If you can't sit for 30 minutes, 10 min walking and 5 minute sitting works just as well. Just don't walk for too long at a time. 10-20 minutes is a good amount. If you're fine with just standing, I still r ecommend alternating. Don't stand for more than 30 minutes at a time.
If I didn't have this setup I would have been without a job right now. Absolutely recommend it.
I dont think I have back pain yet. I feel it some times when i focus on it. I dont have a big space but I can easily switch my setup standing-sitting. I dont have space for treadmill either but my work allows me to take 20mins break easily every hour or so. I plan on walking for 10-20min wherever i find myself.
