While the difference between calories burned for those who followed the stand-sit guidelines versus those who sat were small, daily habit shifts with even the smallest benefits add up over time. The study showed that by alternating positions (sitting to standing) throughout the work day, with a goal of four hours/day or standing and four hours/day of sitting, subjects increased the amount of calories they burned versus if they primarily sat for their work day. So if you need leverage to convince your boss to buy you a standing desk, this should do the trick!Īnother benefit of using a standing desk throughout your work day is that it can help with weight maintenance by increasing the number of calories you burn throughout the day, according to 2017 research in Occupational Medicine. According to a 2016 study out of the Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health, employees with “stand-capable workstations-those in which the worker could raise or lower the desk to stand or sit as they wished throughout the day” were 46 percent more productive than their colleagues with seated desk arrangements over a six month research period. Standing desks can also help boost productivity at work. In fact, a review of multiple studies that examined the relationship between sit-stand desk areas and musculoskeletal discomfort, specifically in the lower back area, found that “changing posture may reduce the chance of developing lower back pain” in certain populations. can be alleviated by alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day. This low back pain, neck pain, poor posture, etc.
We’ve all been there - overwhelming aches and pains in our backs, shoulders, and necks after a long day sitting in front of a computer. One of the biggest benefits of using a standing desk is reducing stress on certain areas of your body.
