This blog post shares the health benefits of using standing desks in your workplace.
Do you or your employees experience discomfort in your lower back after a long day sitting at the office. Besides incorporating movement into your day, we recommend adding standing desks in your workspace. This blog post shares the health benefits of using standing desks in your workplace.
Boost Your Energy Levels and Productivity
For many employees who spend a whole day sitting down, their spine curves. By choosing to stand instead of sitting, you will reduce weight gain, obesity, and backache symptoms. In contrast, your energy levels will increase. Consequently, you will maximize your productivity at work. Consider using standing desks in your workspace. Moving from standing to sitting every half-hour during the day reduces employee fatigue levels. You will be pain-free when using sit-stand desks instead of regular desks.
Burn Calories While Working
Did you know standing burns more calories than sitting, even if you stand still? When standing up, you are more likely to keep your mind in “wellness mode.” You will walk around more often during the day or take a quick break with some jumping jacks or squats. These small activity shifts help you burn more calories during your workday. Therefore, using standing desks in your workspace benefits you long-term!
Assists with Wrist Position
If you have sat with a laptop on your lap while typing something, you have probably noticed your wrists starting to fall and “rest” on your keyboard. This may lead to wrist strain and pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers may notice more discomfort when wrists are held wrongly. If you use a standing desk, you can keep your arms comfortably bent at a 90-to-100-degree angle (an ergonomic position) and even enhance your typing speed!
