5 Reasons to Invest in a Sit-Stand Desk | Westcountry Group

1. Burn calories

Standing burns up to 50 more calories per hour than sitting, so you can have a Kit-Kat every two hours without feeling guilty! Over the period of a year, that totals up to a lot of burnt calories – without doing anything other than standing on your own two feet! Nice one.

2. Stay focused

According to studies, standing at a desk can increase your focus and alertness, which in turn increases your activity level, helping you to be more productive by focusing on the tasks in hand.

3. Be healthy

The benefits of standing are numerous – it helps tone muscles, improve posture (no more slouching in the chair or hunched over the desk), increase blood circulation and get your metabolism going faster. Say hello to a healthier working life!

4. Stay awake!

Being on your feet can help to beat fatigue and drowsiness, more so than if you were sitting at a desk. You’ve got no excuses now for the 3.00 pm nap!

5. Better posture

Not only your back position, but also your neck. Instead of hunching over or looking down at your screen, with sit-stand desks, you can raise the desk so your heads up and so’s the screen. A double heads up to that one.
