Used Adjustable Standing Desks
You might see the latest craze of standing while working as just another fad. Even if it is, it’s one that offers some serious health benefits.
Time magazine cites research that states that sitting for eight hours a day puts you at a higher risk of contracting a lifestyle disease such as diabetes. The scary part is that they’re not just talking about the eight hours you spend at work.
They mean eight hours out of any twenty-four. So, if you flop onto the sofa at the end of a long day, that’s not helping either. That in itself is an excellent reason to start considering offering staff the option of sitting or standing to work.
That being said, sit stand desks aren’t cheap. To assist our clients, we’ll look out for great used sit and stand desks. When we do have them in stock, you’ll see them on this page. Do take our advice and grab them while you can – they sell really fast.
If you’re concerned about getting your staff to buy into the concept, these models are perfect. They can be used seated or, with a few simple adjustments, standing. So, your staff gets the chance to try it out for a bit.
Maybe suggest that they see how it goes for a half an hour a day to start with. We’d advise that they start slowly and work their way up. If you’ve ever had to spend eight or more hours on your feet, you’ll see the wisdom in that advice.
As they get used to it and start to feel the benefits for themselves, they’ll naturally want to extend the length of time that they work standing for.
Want to motivate them even more? Standing helps you adopt a more natural posture. It helps the body stretch out, but the kicker? You burn more calories standing than sitting.
