Tone Up Thursday - Try a standing desk
from Today’s Gut Health Tip · host Melissa Hall Klepacki, M.Ac.
I think we can all agree that we sit too much and too often. A standing desk might offer another solution. I like to work at one end of my kitchen island which happens to be at a very comfortable height for my 5'5" frame. Lots of other options to achieve this from buying an adjustable standing desk to raising your current desk on cinder blocks or milk crates (please make sure it's very stable.) If you wear an apple watch it will remind you to take standing breaks. If you are seated when this reminder comes up please stand and stretch for at least a minute before you continue your seated work. Especially if your sit for work, this post is for you. Time to consider an alternative!
