10 Reasons to Buy a Stand-up Desk

1. Working at a standup desk brings immediate relief to lower back pain suffers. (Keep your spine straight by rotating your pelvis to eliminate a gap in your lower back and do not lock your knees)
   
   
2. With a stand-up desk you have your choice of standing or sitting.
   (Sitting puts 40 to 80% more stress on the back than standing.)
   
   
3. You are more mobile and have better circulation than if you are sitting all day.
   
   
4. You gain sharpness (are more creative) and have better concentration.
   (You feel more free both physically and psychologically – to move around if you want to. Thoreau and Winston Churchill accomplished great thoughts while standing and pacing; John Adams and Douglas MacArthur showed phenomenal productivity while working at a standup desk.)
   
   
5. You feel far less fatigued and have more energy at the end of the day as a result of improved circulation and exercise. No more 3:00 p.m. drowsiness.
   
   
6. Your body becomes stronger.
   
   
7. A big payback is your increased productivity.
   (Standup desk users have reported a 10 to 30% increase in productivity)
   
   
8. You have a sense of control.
   
   
9. You have a presence of authority.   Therefore the likelihood of your authority/responsibility ratio will increase to greater than 1.0.
   
   
10. Your fellow workers see the new you and . . . you look GOOD!
