MY STANDING DESK
When I made the transition to working online 13 years ago, I was very concerned about the amount of time I would spend being seated during my day.  Working at home has many benefits, but without a plan, it can take a toll on your health. With meetings and work demands, you may spend hours at a time sitting if you are not aware.  I hope this post is helpful for those who are working at home because of the pandemic.  ​

It is recommended that every hour you spend 45 - 55 minutes seated at the computer and 5-15 minutes of moving around.   Well, I've tried that for years.  I tried it with a timer. I've tried it with an app.  Regardless, I end up spending 2-3 hours sitting and working at a time.  I've heard about standing desks and treadmill desks for a while now. Well, the treadmill desk was not an option - imagine the complaints I would get from my clients hearing the heavy breathing LOL. Five years ago, the price range for standing desks was $250 - $400. Now, the prices are finally coming down.  Today is my first day working at my new desk and I love it. I'm excited about burning the extra 24 calories per hour that standing uses compared to sitting.  I'm also excited about the improved circulation in my legs and being able to do a few squats while waiting for the voicemails to pick up.  I think this new office design is really going to improve my health and quality of work. So from now on, I will be standing and not whistling while I work.
