As we have previously discussed in our post, Why Sit When You Can Also Stand?, the key to remaining healthy while at work is to alternate between standing and sitting positions.
Whether it’s time spent working, driving, eating or relaxing, the impact of our sedentary lifestyle has become an unforeseen health threat. The average office worker sits for approximately 10 hours a day. This doesn’t include the average 7 hours we spend sleeping at night. That’s 17 hours a day!
So, what can you do?
- Alternate between sitting and standing every 30 minutes- don’t just do one or the other!
- Stand up when you are on the phone or if someone comes to your desk to discuss a project.
- Incorporate stretching or simple exercises into your work day.
- Don’t send emails if the recipient is in walking distance. Get up, walk and talk.
- Conduct standing or walking meetings.
Intermittent standing during the workday, has far-reaching benefits including improved health, wellness, productivity and satisfaction. So, why not give it a try!
