What are the health benefits of a manual sit-stand desk?

One benefit of sit-stand desks is that they are ergonomically designed so that even when sitting they are designed to help make the optimal workstation, boosting productivity and decreasing discomfort. Standing desks are good for increasing blood flow, helping to maintain good posture and increasing concentration levels. Also, the change from sitting to standing helps to keep the brain awake and active whilst working. The manual sit stand desk, as well, does not have any effect on your electricity bill as its not wired to anything. This makes them a more affordable option than the electric sit stand desks, which is another type of raising desks we sell.

Why choose a sit-stand desk?

There are great health benefits to sit-stand desks. To be more specific, approximately 1 calorie is burned each minute while sitting, whereas 3 calories are burned every minute while standing. Now consider the length of your typical workday, ranging from eight to nine hours or more. If you were to work sitting down for eight hours you’d be burning around 480 calories, if you stood up for the duration of that time, we’re now talking around 1440 calories being burned. Now this is not saying you must go from always sitting to always standing, however, doing a 50-50 ratio could be an easy solution to inactivity in the workplace.
