         2 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the movable base is mounted on wheels. 
     
     
         3 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the calf stretching plane on the movable base is hingably mounted, such that the calf stretching plane is rotatable to a first and a second position. 
     
     
         4 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tower portion includes a vertically extending beam perpendicularly mounted on the movable base, the tower portion including a bar perpendicular to the vertically extending beam and a top plane mounted on top of the vertically extending beam. 
     
     
         5 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the top plane includes a pad on the top surface. 
     
     
         6 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the vertically extending beam is located in a central portion of the movable base. 
     
     
         7 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the top plane is hingably mounted to the vertically extending beam, such that the top plane is fixable in a variety of angles relative to the base. 
     
     
         8 . The standing chair apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the vertically extending beam is telescoping. 
     
     
         9 . A workstation, the workstation comprising:
 a standing desk, the standing desk including an apparatus for raising and lowering the height of the standing desk;   a standing chair, the standing chair sized to work with the standing desk, the standing chair including:
 a base portion; 
 a tower portion, the tower portion extending vertically from the base portion; and 
 a calf stretching plane, the calf stretching connected to the base portion. 
   
     
     
         10 . The workstation of  claim 9 , wherein the calf stretching plane is hingeably attached to the base portion, such that the calf stretching plane is positionable in a variety of calf stretching positions. 
     
     
         11 . The workstation of  claim 10 , wherein the base portion is movably mounted. 
     
     
         12 . The workstation of  claim 11 , wherein the base portion includes wheels. 
     
     
         13 . The workstation of  claim 12 , wherein the wheels are lockable, to prevent the easy rolling of the base portion. 
     
     
         14 . The workstation of  claim 13 , wherein the tower portion includes a top plane. 
     
     
         15 . The workstation of  claim 14 , wherein the tower portion includes a vertical beam. 
     
     
         16 . The workstation of  claim 15 , wherein the vertical beam is telescoping. 
     
     
         17 . The workstation of  claim 16 , further comprising a stretch bar mounted on the vertical beam. 
     
     
         18 . A method of stretching at a workstation comprising:
 providing a workstation, the workstation including a standing desk and a standing chair, the standing chair including:
 a base portion; 
 a tower portion, the tower portion extending vertically from the base portion; 
 a calf stretching plane, the calf stretching connected to the base portion; 
   positioning the standing chair in front of the standing desk; and   engaging the calf stretching plane with feet of a worker, the calf stretching plane providing a stretching position for the calves of the worker.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 disengaging the calf stretching plane; and   engaging a top plane of the tower portion with a side of a leg of the worker in order to stretch a glute of the worker.   
     
     
         20 . The method further comprising:
 disengaging the side of the leg from the top plane; and   engaging the top plane with a lower portion of the leg in order to stretch the hamstring.
