Tips for Healthy Standing Desk Use
Alternate Sitting & Standing
Aim for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. For every 30-60 minutes you stand, try to sit for 30 minutes.
Use an Anti-Fatigue Mat
A good mat encourages small movements and reduces strain on your feet, legs, and back.
Wear Supportive Footwear
Avoid high heels or shoes without proper arch support. Comfortable, supportive shoes are key.
Stretch Regularly
Perform simple stretches for your neck, shoulders, back, and legs throughout the day to prevent stiffness.
