Why a Stand Up Desk Could Save Your Life The Sup Desk

Before to stand …….
1. Slowly but surely – Do not go from zero to hero. You have to take
baby steps to not shock your system. Begin with just 20 minutes
at a time until you get used to it. Increase the 20 minutes and let
your body adjust. Once your body have adjusted, keep on
extending your standing time.
2. Use a mat – Be friendly to your knees, hips and ankles by
standing on a gel mat. It would be tons better too if you wear nonslip,
support shoes as well.
3. Keep the chair nearby – It may take some adjustment to work
standing up. Sometimes, you will find it hard to think or
concentrate when you’re on your feet. If this happens, have a
chair nearby if it will help you focus more.
4. Proper set-up – The computer monitor should be 15 to 30 inches
away from your eyes, with the eye level even or slightly below
your screen. Wrists should be flat with the elbows at a 90-degree
angle. Keep on making adjustments seeing to it that you body is
not straining while you’re standing.
5. Move – While standing burns more calories than sitting, walking
burns even more. Take walking breaks once in a while to stretch
your muscles and keep your circulation going.
