In a recent casual conversation with one of our biomechanics experts, we ended up on the topic of standing\/walking at a desk during one’s workday vs. sitting in a chair at a desk.<\/p>\n

A few of our colleagues enjoy a standing workspace, but none of us had heard of walking at our desk during work hours. Turns out this is a fairly new trend, but a few studies have concluded that there’s a certainly benefit involved.\"Firm<\/a><\/p>\n

Read this summary of the finding from the British Journal of Medicine. <\/a><\/p>\n

Have you ever seen a workspace set-up like this? As the related NPR article <\/a>states, “employees at\u00a0Salo, a Minneapolis-based financial consulting firm, walk while working on treadmill desks. The firm offers treadmill desks for employee use and encourages an active workplace environment.”<\/p>\n

This sounds like an interesting experiment in health (and potentially in safety). We’re going to give it a shot. Our Creative Writer & PR Coordinator, Jen, is starting by adjusting to a standing workspace. We’ll see how that goes first. Good thing she’s sporting supportive wedges <\/a>since she’s going to be on her feet more!<\/p>\n

What methods have you used to stay fit while working full-time? We want to know!<\/p>\n
