While we know standing benefits you it may not be fitting for the work you do.
Find out the pros and cons of a standing desk below:
Pros
Standing Desks Keep You Moving. You already know this, sitting itself causes a host of problems. Issues like back and neck pain are usually caused by staying in the same position for far too long, which is why a standing desk can come in handy. A standing desk naturally encourages people to move around and add variations to the way they move their bodies. This movement reduces the risk of those nasty health problems that sitting is blamed for
Get Rid of the Afternoon Slump! Have you felt the dreaded post-meal afternoon slump? This happens a lot more when you are sitting, if you’re standing, blood sugar levels return to normal much sooner when a person is standing versus sitting. You can beat the slump by getting a standing desk.
Burn More Calories. An excellent benefit to standing that can affect your waistline is that you burn more calories. A study found that in an hour, someone sitting at their desk burned 80 calories and the person standing at their desk burned 88 calories. While not drastic, you can see how standing is slightly more beneficial in terms of burning calories.
Cons
Standing All Day Can Be Tiring. Standing upright on wood floors from 7-8 hours a day can be pretty tiring. This can result in muscle fatigue, soreness, and general tiredness. Just ask someone, like a hairdresser, who works on their feet all day!
It Can Cause Damage to Your Joints. While a standing desk can alleviate some back pain, it can also put just as much pressure on your knees and ankles. Even if you are in good shape, a full day of standing at your desk can leave your joints feeling sore.
Say Buh Bye to Your Favorite Footwear. Even if you enjoy standing at your desk, you can’t deny that you are going to end up with sore feet after a long day. This is especially true if you are wearing tough, professional shoes, like high heels, that lack support and comfort to get you through the day. The best way to combat this pain is to wear sneakers or comfortable shoes while you are standing at your desk.
