Inside the standing desk: staying fit & healthy in a new working world

 

Why standing desks are emerging as the bold, bright future of remote working



More people with sedentary or computer-based jobs are standing up at work—and for good reason.


The digital revolution has made remote working not only feasible, but a productive, creative, and cost-effective means of operating across industries. Perks that have, of course, been highlighted by the pandemic.


In this brave new remote world, people are searching for the ideal workspace. Having a clean, organised, and inspiring space are essential—but without adopting the right posture, remote workers will run into issues pretty swiftly. The kind of issues that affect mental as well as physical health, stunting productivity in the process.

Taking the stand: a sustainable approach to remote working

Back to standing. Realising that sitting is now considered the new smoking, droves of remote workers (as well as office-based workers) are choosing to stand up for prolonged periods while working.


Standing up at work offers a wealth of life-long health benefits. Here are the main perks of using a standing desk at work:


  1. Reduced risk of weight gain and obesity

  2. Less risk of heart disease

  3. Fewer issues with back pain coupled with increased physical energy

  4. Improved mood and better productivity levels

  5. More chance of living a longer, healthier life


Standing desks are on the rise, designed to help digital natives thrive in a hyper-connected, tech-driven digital age. By taking the stand, you will enjoy a happier, healthier work-life.
