How Does a Standing Desk Improve My Productivity?

According to a study, people using standing desks felt 45% more productive than those sitting all day. Therefore, many standing desk users recommend you ditch standard desks. While the benefits are not proven entirely, you can burn almost ten calories more per hour than you would be sitting normally. Avoiding back pain, lowering the risk of heart disease, and preventing obesity are all some of the potential benefits that can help you stay on task.

Though some experts say taking a break and walking is just as effective, standing desks keep you on your feet and encourage you to be more active. 

It is important to remember that you should not be standing for hours on end. Your feet deserve a break now and then. That’s why our Autonomous SmartDesk Connect control panel works so well. You can easily adjust from sitting to standing within seconds.
