Standing desk versus sitting with a timer, which actually works for focus?

I tried a standing desk for a month last year and felt more alert but my legs ached by 3pm. Switched back to sitting with a 45 minute timer to stand up and stretch, and that cut down on the leg pain but I zone out more often. Has anyone else tested both and found a clear winner for staying productive all day?

Did you try a balance board or anti-fatigue mat with the standing desk? I found those make a huge difference for leg pain versus standing on hard floor, which might let you keep the alertness without the ache. Curious if mats would change the outcome for you.

A fellow on hard floors with a standing desk is borderline sadistic.
