3 Ways To Add Some Movement To Your Standing Desk Days!
Share
As we’ve mentioned oh, maybe a time or two on our blog, sitting all day is dangerous to your health! One way to combat sitting while you’re working in your office is to use a standing desk.
But standing in one position for a long period of time, while better for you than sitting, isn’t great either. Moving around is the ultimate goal for a healthier body – and mind!
Move at work! In addition to walking, try standing desk stretches.
One way to get some more movement in is to use your desk for stretching. In fact, a standing desk lets you ease the tension in your core, back, and chest.
Ready to move at your desk? Check out these three stretches and help your body get into a good alignment. Hold each position for about 30 seconds.
1. Core stretch
Standing in front of your desk, put your right hand on the work surface
Twist to the left and hold
Switch sides
2. Chest stretch
Stand with your back to the desk
Reach both hands behind you and put your palms on the surface
Stand up straight, pushing your chest forward, and hold
3. Back stretch
Stand in front of the desk, feet together
Put both palms on the surface
Bend at the waist until your head is in line with your arms and hold
Whew! Doesn’t that feel great? If you want yoga poses at your desk to continue your stretching, click here for some ideas.
Let us know your favorite standing desk stretches in the comments!
You worked on a hard deadline and delivered something beautiful
You worked on a hard deadline and delivered something beautiful. That means everything. The tablecloth is the centerpiece of the booth. It brings Dulce Bembé to life. Thank you!
I was so happy when I found your product! Simple design and easy to use. I avoided having to buy a new sewing table. The risers do not slip and the table feels very sturdy. 2 minutes to install. Highly recommend!
I set up an area on my back porch for bleaching and dyeing shirts. Unfortunately, the tables I got didn't have adjustable heights. My back was constantly aching from bending over a table for prolonged periods. I ordered these after seeing all the reviews on Amazon. What a lifesaver! They went on so easily and the tables are super sturdy. Perfect height for working without pain!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
I ordered the wrong size from Amazon. When I tried to return them, Amazon directed me to the Lift Your Table company. I spoke with Bethany and she helped me figure out what size I need. She did not charge me for the additional expense of the larger size. She only charged me $15 for shipping. She told me that I didn’t need to return the original set but to gift them to someone who could use them. She was very professional and very kind. I highly recommend this “Made in America” company!
The NuChair design makes sense, so I bought one, and my staff love it! It does offload the low back when sitting and maintains tall strong sitting posture while sitting. In 40 years of practice I have never seen a chair that can deliver good ergonomics and postural support. The NuChair is the NuWay to get it done. Bravo.
These are a life-saver. I am going to get them for all of my work tables. No more hunching over! And, I can stand and work if I want to. We know that sitting is really bad for us. This was a VERY worthwhile purchase.
