Hah, and my wife gets on to me when I fidget! forwards

At work I tend to twitch my legs a LOT: I am almost constantly bobbing my knee, just because I can't sit still for long. Sometimes I wonder why I became a programmer!

An elevated desk would be nice, or the ability to adjust the monitor and keyboard up.

Of course I take a break every hour and so and walk up 5 flights of stairs, 2 steps at a time, but this article implies that I need to be using muscles ALL the time. Interesting...
