Standing about 33% of your day is a good amount!

Things to Consider when Standing:

• Do you wear comfortable footwear?
• Do you have an anti-fatigue mat or a footrest to prop your foot up on?
• Do I ease into standing or just go for it?
• Do I still need an ergonomic chair if I invest in a standing desk?
• When I use my desk in standing, is my monitor still at the correct height?

USED CORRECTLY – YOU WILL REAP THE REWARDS:

• Wearing flats or bare feet are essential to being comfortable in standing
• Having an anti-fatigue mat or a footrest can help support your lower back
• Just like exercise, ease into anything new to your routine
  (Check with your doctor if you’re unsure if standing is the right option for you)
• Don’t ignore your posture when sitting – Remember when you’re standing, you basically have no support so when it’s time to sit, make sure you have the proper chair
• Consider adding a monitor arm or a monitor riser if you experience neck discomfort when you alternate from sitting to standing postures
