Standing Desk Benefits

Hey guys- Melissa, here! To continue our wellness series, I am so happy to be here talking about standing desk benefits. It has been a year since I invested in a standing desk to have at my full-time job and I cannot express enough how much I love it. It was a big financial investment, but has been worth every dollar. The biggest benefit of a standing desk like this one from InMovement, is the ability to stand the desk up or keep it at desk level. Not all standing desks allow you the option to stand or sit, but the freedom that brings is so incredible.On average, I stand for probably 4 hours a day at work, so a little less than half the work day. Now that I have had it for a year, I cannot imagine not having a standing desk. Almost immediately, I felt increased energy, improved posture, a better mood since I wasn't on my rear all day (just thinking about that makes me cranky!), and overall my body felt more comfortable, flexible, and less stiff. I absolutely love my job, but it is 100% a desk job at the computer, so being able to stand up when I want (while still working and being productive) is such a blessing!Have you ever considered a standing desk? If so, I cannot recommend the InMovement brand enough- it comes fully assembled and is simply made to be placed on a normal desk. However, if you are looking for an at-home standing desk, we absolutely love this one from Pottery Barn.We would love to hear your thoughts on standing desks in the comment section below! xoimage via pb teen pinterest
