Microbreaks – short breaks that you can use to keep your body healthy – are useful and beneficial in any work setting. In office settings, microbreaks usually involve getting out of the chair, away from the desk, and moving around for a few minutes. But what do you do when your job involves frequent movement? What if you’re already on your feet, and you’ve been on them for most of your shift? Read our blog post here: https://www.healthworksergo.com/resources-individuals/microbreaks-in-industrial-settings

What should I look for in a sit-stand desk?

If you are looking for a standing desk, here are a few tips to make sure you get a desk that works for you.

First, make sure the desk height range is good for your ideal sitting and standing height. If in doubt, look for a desk that goes as low as 25” (from the floor to desk surface) and as high as 45”.
Second, make sure there is enough desk surface for all of your equipment. This is especially important if you are shopping for a desktop converter (a device that sits on your existing desk).
Last, make sure it is easy to use. Desks that require you to lift or use a crank handle to adjust don’t encourage those frequent changes of position that are so beneficial for sit-stand workstation.
