Work Productivity Health Don't Just Improve
When You Stand Rather than Sit - Movement Matters
2
There's a great deal of well-supported research
demonstrating how health and work productivity
dramatically improve when people spend less time
sitting in chairs.
3
Standing desks, like those in our line of
premium, ergonomic office furniture, allow users
to adjust their workstations, thereby reducing
the number of hours they spend seated each day.
But the key to better health and improved
efficiency isn't just about standing while you
work - it's about moving.
4
You're probably thinking that it would be nearly
impossible for you to incorporate more movement
into your day if you work at a computer and are
expected to get anything done.
5
In actuality, however, there are several clever
ways you can not only limit the amount of time
you spend sitting by converting your adjustable
office desk to the standing position, but also
increase the amount of moving you do, while you
work.
6
Schedule Time with Your Adjustable Office
DeskEven those with an adjustable office desk
can lose track of time and forget to adjust their
desk and change their position. By simply
scheduling time to stand, you can incorporate
more movement into your day.
7
Some people set alarms on their smart phones or
use other helpful devices like the Wellness
Switch, which reminds you when to stand and
tracks the number of minutes you spend standing.
This switch will even tell you how many calories
you burned at the end of each day.
8
Move When You Stand to WorkInstead of just
standing still while using your adjustable office
desk (which can be just as uncomfortable as
sitting for long periods of time), take the
opportunity to stretch and move your legs.
9
Knee bends, shifting your weight back and forth, 
swaying and even rolling your shoulders are all
good ways to incorporate a little more movement
while you work.
10
Pair Standing Desks with 'Active' SeatsBelieve
it or not, there are actually chairs and stools
available that allow you to easily maintain
movement and optimal posture while you sit at
your desk.
11
The Saddle Stool from Humanscale, for instance,
keeps muscles engaged and active while you're
seated. Moving from side to side at your
workstation also helps to maintain circulation in
your legs and keeps you alert.
12
If you're ready to reduce the health risks
associated with the way you work and are looking
to step up your productivity, start adding more
movement to your work day.
13
To begin, equip your workspace with an adjustable
office desk that gets you up out of your seat and
working from a more comfortable and healthful
position.
