Standing Desk HQ
Congratulations on taking a look into standing desks. It may seem like a very small change to make, but the addition of a standing desk at home or work can make a huge difference in how you feel and even your physique.
The most common reasons for using a standing desk are to get rid of back pain or some type of repetative stress injury (RSI) from performing the same repeated action over and over again, but there are many things that a standing desk can do to change how you work. It’s estimated that you can expend 50 calories per hour working at a standing desk rather than sitting down. This means that aside from all of the health benefits (back pain relief, etc), someone who works at a desk for 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, has the potential to burn an additional 28.5lb of fat or 100,000 calories per year by using a standing desk! That’s something that shouldn’t be ignored.
