Every product we make is designed not only to enhance your productivity but to reflect our deep commitment to sustainability. From responsibly sourced materials to energy efficient designs, we strive to offer solutions that benefit both our customers and the environment. Sustainability at the Heart of Design Sustainability begins with the materials we choose. We carefully select eco-friendly options that minimize waste and reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality and durability VersaDesk is known for. For example, bamboo, one of the most sustainable materials available, is one of our most popular desk surfaces. Bamboo grows rapidly without the need for pesticides or excessive water, and its strength and natural beauty make it a standout choice. We pair this with thoughtful manufacturing practices to ensure every product meets the highest standards for quality and sustainability. From responsibly sourcing materials to efficient production methods, we strive to minimize waste and maximize longevity in everything we create. This approach reflects our dedication to creating workspaces that align with both professional goals and environmental values. We also use 100% recycled steel in our products, repurposing over 15,000 pounds of steel every month. This approach reduces landfill waste and lowers our carbon footprint, all while delivering the sturdy, reliable desk you depend on. Our commitment to sustainability extends to tempered glass, which is both recycled and helps improve light distribution in your workspace. By reducing the need for artificial lighting, it supports both energy efficiency and a more natural, comfortable environment. We have integrated energy-efficient manufacturing processes, ensuring that even the production of our products aligns with our eco-conscious mission. This includes minimizing energy consumption, reducing emissions, and utilizing sustainable practices across our operations. Our focus is not only on the materials but also on how we bring those materials to life in a way that benefits both our customers and the planet. Energy Efficiency in Every Detail VersaDesk products are built with energy-saving features that make your workspace more sustainable and cost-effective. From energy-efficient lighting to SMART technology, we aim to create desks that adapt to modern work habits while reducing environmental impact. Our desks are designed to last, which means fewer replacements and less waste over time. Features like app-controlled height adjustments and memory presets for standing and sitting positions help you work smarter while conserving energy. When you invest in a VersaDesk, you’re choosing a product that balances innovation with long-term sustainability. Made In the USA With Purpose VersaDesk products are proudly made and manufactured in the USA. This commitment allows us to uphold high production standards while supporting local jobs and reducing the environmental impact of overseas shipping. By prioritizing local production, we ensure that every desk meets our exacting standards while contributing to a more sustainable economy. Creating a Circular Economy We’re dedicated to reducing waste at every stage of production. By incorporating recycled materials and focusing on practices that promote reuse. VersaDesk is playing its part in creating a circular economy. We also ensure our products are made with non-toxic materials, prioritizing the health and safety of both our customers and the environment. Why It Matters Sustainability is about more than just the materials we use or the technology we incorporate– it’s about creating a brighter future for everyone. Every decision we make is guided by our belief that great design should not come at the expense of the planet. By choosing VersaDesk, you’re not just upgrading your workspace– you’re supporting a brand that truly cares about the environment and the people who share it. Let’s create workspaces that are kind to the planet as they are to the people who use them. Together, we can build a greener, more sustainable future– one desk at a time. 2024-12-30 | tags WorkNest™ Office Cubicles - [VersaDesk Holiday Gift Guide: Perfect Gifts for Everyone on Your List](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/versadesk-holiday-gift-guide-perfect-gifts-for-everyone-on-your-list): Finding the right holiday gift can be tricky, but when it comes to promoting wellness, productivity, and creativity, VersaDesk has you covered.

We will dive deep into what affiliate marketing entails here so you can see its full personal and commercial benefits. 1. Cost-Effective Marketing Solutions Affiliate marketing provides businesses with a practical and cost-efficient method for advertising their goods products or services. In contrast to traditional advertisements, where businesses pay upfront for space within an ad, affiliate marketing operates on performance pricing - advertisers only pay when a desired outcome (sales/lead generation, etc) occurs (i.e when their desired result has been realized). With pay-for-performance programs in place when sales or leads have been generated, your budget will be maximized for maximum return from investment. 2. Expanse Reach and Exposure Businesses can leverage affiliate marketing to expand their reach without incurring significant costs or efforts. Bloggers or social media influencers who utilize their followers to promote products and services are another effective form of affiliate marketing, helping increase awareness and drive sales growth. Engagement campaigns enable brands to access audiences that remain out of reach through traditional channels. 3. Diverse sources of transportation Affiliate marketers can assist firms in taking advantage of various traffic sources for product advertising. Affiliates could leverage platforms such as blogs, websites social media networks, email marketing or YouTube to advertise products effectively. Diversifying channels helps lessen reliance on one single one while strengthening resilience against algorithm changes or trends, giving marketers an edge against any shifts that might affect them in future marketing initiatives. 4. Tracking Performance, Analyzing Progress, and Reporting on Results Data is one of the most essential assets in technology and affiliate marketing platforms, providing companies with powerful tracking and analysis instruments for quickly evaluating how marketing campaigns have worked over time and which strategies work best. Giving businesses access to these invaluable statistics allows them to determine whether their campaign efforts were successful. 5. Risk Mitigation Pay-for-performance affiliate marketing offers advertisers an effective means of mitigating risks. As it relies on performance outcomes rather than the uncertainty of traditional advertisement strategies where campaign results cannot always be predicted accurately, pay-per-performance provides peace of mind as businesses invest with specific goals in mind - like lead generation or sales goals that provide clear goals that reduce risks compared to conventional ads which often don't match them exactly. 6. Build Trust and Credibility Affiliate marketing relies on reliable individuals or companies with enthusiastic supporters as ambassadors who spread brand messages or services and establish credibility among customers. When one of these affiliates endorses one product or service over another, this endorsement carries weight among their followers, creating increased loyalty towards it while building trust throughout its value chain. Brand recognition is pivotal in our purchasing habits, influencing what products or services we purchase or choose when shopping. 7. Collaborate for Win-Win Affiliate marketing has proven itself an economical and efficient method for advertising products and services online, revolutionizing traditional forms of promotion for many businesses.

The work environment, particularly our furniture, is significant in this pursuit. Enter the standing desk – a transformative piece of office equipment that alters how we think about our workspaces. But how can a standing desk be used commercially? Let's delve into the world of standing desks, covering everything from choosing the right one to its benefits for back pain and even the debate between electric and manual versions. The Rise of Standing Desks in Commercial Spaces Standing desks, also known as desk risers or riser desks, have gained substantial popularity in commercial settings. Companies like Versa Desk have been at the forefront, providing various solutions for multiple office needs. The primary appeal of a standing desk lies in its ability to offer a more dynamic work posture, combating the sedentary lifestyle that comes with traditional office jobs. How Do I Choose a Good Standing Desk? Choosing a suitable standing desk for your commercial space involves considering several factors: Size and Space: Assess the available space in your office. A desk that's too large can make a space feel cramped, while one that needs to be bigger may not be functional. Adjustability: A vital feature of any standing desk is its ability to adjust to different heights. This ensures that employees of varying heights can use the desk comfortably. Stability and Durability: Commercial environments often require furniture that can withstand heavy use. Look for a standing desk that's sturdy and built to last. Aesthetics: The desk should complement the overall design of your workspace. Versa Desk, for instance, offers a range of styles to suit different office aesthetics. Electric or Manual: Which is Better? The debate between electric and manual standing desks is a common one. Electric desks offer ease of use and are ideal for frequent height adjustments, whereas manual desks are often more affordable and require less maintenance. The choice depends on your office's needs and budget. Electric Standing Desks: These desks are user-friendly and can be adjusted with a button, making them ideal for shared workspaces where multiple people use the same desk. Manual Standing Desks: They are typically more budget-friendly and offer a straightforward, mechanical way of height adjustment, which can be beneficial in spaces where the desk height is not frequently changed. Is Standing Desk Better for Back Pain? One of the key benefits of standing desks is their potential to alleviate back pain, a common ailment among office workers. By allowing the user to alternate between sitting and standing, these desks can reduce the strain on the lower back caused by prolonged sitting. However, it's essential to use them correctly: • Alternate between sitting and standing to avoid fatigue. • Ensure the desk is at the correct height to maintain a comfortable posture. • Use an anti-fatigue mat to reduce the strain on your legs and back. Commercial Applications of Standing Desks Increased Productivity and Focus A primary commercial advantage of standing desks is the boost in productivity they can offer. Studies have shown that standing while working can increase focus and energy levels, leading to more efficient work output. Health and Wellness Initiatives Incorporating standing desks into your office can be a part of a broader health and wellness initiative. They send a message that the company cares about its employees' well-being, which can, in turn, improve employee satisfaction and retention. Adaptable Work Environments Standing desks provide flexibility in the workplace. They can easily be adjusted for different tasks or employees, making them ideal for modern, dynamic office environments. Cost-Effectiveness in the Long Run While the initial investment in quality standing desks like those from Versa Desk might be higher than traditional desks, they can be cost-effective in the long run. These desks can offer a good return on investment by reducing health-related issues and boosting productivity. Implementing Standing Desks in Your Business Start with a Pilot Program Start with a pilot program if you consider introducing standing desks into your business. Select a small group of employees to use the desks and gather feedback on their experiences. Training and Best Practices Educate your employees on how to use standing desks best. This includes proper posture, recommended time intervals for standing, and tips for staying comfortable. Monitor and Gather Feedback Regularly check in with employees using the desks to understand their impact. This feedback can guide future decisions on expanding their use within the office. Customize as Needed Remember that one size does not fit all. Be open to customizing desk solutions to suit the specific needs of your employees and office space. Conclusion From versatile models like Versa Desk to simpler desk risers, standing desks present a significant opportunity for businesses to modernize their workspace and promote employee health. 2024-01-05 - [Budget vs Advanced Standing Desks: Worth the Upgrade?](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/budget-versus-advanced-standing-desks-is-an-upgrade-worth-the-investment): Compare budget vs advanced standing desks.

Ergonomics refers to designing environments to best accommodate individuals, becoming evermore important among companies today. Ergonomic principles have quickly gained recognition as a way of increasing employee wellness and productivity across offices and manufacturing floors. Businesses wishing to promote healthier work environments should make ergonomic considerations part of their designs for better employee health and higher performance, along with creating healthier working conditions through proactive employee wellness efforts and stellar performance outcomes. Ergonomics Ergonomics studies the relationship between individuals and environments where they undertake their duties. Ergonomics seeks to increase employee effectiveness and health, considering various factors like workstation designs and equipment layout, lighting conditions, posture adjustments and environmental conditions in its assessment process. Ergonomics aims to reduce physical strain while increasing productivity and efficiency at work. Moving towards Ergonomic Working Environments Ergonomics guidelines play a fundamental role in protecting worker well-being and health, so their use should take priority over anything else. Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), like neck strain, back pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome, may result from long periods of poor posture and repetitive motions or prolonged being idle; modifications that increase ergonomic design, such as sitting-stand desks with adjustable seats, as well as correct positions for mouse and keyboard, can significantly lower this risk factor. 1. Increased Productivity: Improved ergonomics may also boost productivity by creating more relaxing workplaces and decreasing employee fatigue. Workers utilizing workstations designed with ergonomic considerations tend to experience less pain or discomfort and can complete their tasks more quickly with focus and efficiency. Furthermore, ergonomically designed workstations help streamline processes while decreasing excessive mobility requirements for more efficiency in accomplishing work-related activities. 2. Strategies for Retaining Top Talent: An organization that prioritizes employee comfort sends positive signals to prospective hires who may one day join its organization, sending positive vibes about its approach to recruiting and retaining top talent. Businesses investing in workers' health will more likely attract these talented workers - creating a welcoming work environment will result in higher job satisfaction leading to increased retention of personnel while decreasing turnover rates. 3. Your Legal and Moral Obligations Employers have become more conscious of their moral and legal responsibilities to create a safe working environment for employees, with ergonomic concepts often mandated by regulatory bodies in order to reduce occupational injuries while complying with occupational safety and health guidelines. Innovative Methods for Ergonomic Design 1. Furniture and Equipment that Consider Ergonomics Components usually seen in ergonomic workstations include sitting-stand desks and ergonomic chairs as well as computer monitors with adjustable settings as well as keyboard trays - these pieces of equipment can all be tailored specifically to an individual's unique requirements and needs and help improve posture while relieving muscle tension. 2. Provide Adequate Illumination Its Lighting is an integral aspect of ergonomics; both natural and artificial illumination can reduce strain on eyes and boost efficiency. To create a comfortable workspace, two key factors to keep in mind include intensity of illumination and reflection level. 3. Creating an adaptable workplace flexibility is one of the cornerstones of ergonomic designs. One way to increase it involves permitting workers to change positions between sitting and standing without interruption or restricting mobility within their workplace environment. Also, furniture arrangement should accommodate various tasks within an ergonomic workstation while permitting freer movement within its surroundings. Looking Ahead Integrating ergonomics into workplaces is a welcome improvement to increase employees' well-being for overall organizational success. Over time, we will see innovations and the incorporation of ergonomic principles in office layout and design practices as organizations become aware of its many advantages: employees who are happier, productive and healthier thanks to an organization's dedication to providing environments which prioritize employee health are evidence that this commitment exists. 2023-10-13 - [Standing Desk for Posture: Boost Health & Productivity](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/elevate-your-health-and-productivity-could-a-standing-desk-improve-posture): Improve posture and productivity with a standing desk.

We Give Preference to Recyclable and/or Reusable Materials We use recycled paper for various printed communications whenever possible and appropriate. We utilize ink-jet addressing and open address windows to eliminate the need for additional labels on envelopes and parcels. 3. We Communicate Environmental Principles to Suppliers We review supplier companies' environmental policies and practices, and encourage them to reduce, reuse, and recycle and give preference to printers that seek to reduce air and water pollution, energy use, and chemical waste in their operations. We communicate these goals within our organization and to our suppliers. 4. We Print Catalogs Responsibly We work with printers that are sensitive to environmental concerns and that strive to reduce their eco-footprint. Our current printer has received the Environmental Excellence Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) three years in a row. Over the past 17 years, our printer has reduced ink waste by 74% and currently achieves a corporate average recycling rate of solid waste of 98%. 5. We Mail Responsibly We maintain in-house do-not-mail lists for prospects and customers who do not wish to receive future marketing contacts from us. Further, we provide periodic notices and opportunities for prospects and customers to opt-out of receiving future marketing contacts from our organization. We also ensure that our mailing lists are current and up-to-date by utilizing the USPS National Change of Address (NCOA) and the USPS Address Correction Service (ACS), as well as through response models and customer segmentation. Paper Procurement: VersaDesk recognizes the importance of responsible forestry practices. We strive to procure, use, and recover paper in a manner that helps to ensure the sustainable use of forests and other natural resources. Learn more 1. We Research & Understand Our Investment in Paper We work to understand the investment our company has in paper and work to address environmental issues associated with paper procurement. We recognize the importance of maintaining biodiversity and avoid sourcing from rare forest types and areas with high concentrations of rare and endangered species. We seek to work with suppliers who have integrated conservation values and programs into their operations. 2. We Encourage Responsible Use of Forest Resources We evaluate paper used for marketing pieces, product packaging and internal consumption to identify opportunities for increased recycled content, increased post-consumer recycled content, lower basis weights and other environmental attributes and identify for consumers paper and paperboard products made from fibers manufactured with recycled content with post-consumer material. We consider the net environmental benefits and detriments of using recycled fiber before purchasing it and understand that recycled fiber manufacture, transportation and de-ink sludge disposal can have significant environmental impact. We work with our printers to reduce paper waste (reduced overage counts, make-ready waste, etc.) and utilize digital production proofing whenever possible. Workplace and Community: VersaDesk policies and initiatives in this area are guided by the Three R's: "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle." With this in mind, we seek an efficient and environmentally sensible workplace, as well as to promote environmental stewardship in our community. 1. We Reduce & Reuse in the Workplace Where possible and practical, we purchase office papers, packing and packaging materials made from recycled materials with post-consumer content. We encourage the use of electronic communications (e-mail, Web and intranet) for external and internal communications whenever possible. We make primary use of two-sided printing and photocopying where appropriate. We reuse file folders, hanging folders and binders where appropriate and substitute durable materials for disposable products. 2. We Deploy Recycling in Our Workplace We implement in-house recycling programs for paper, beverage cans and bottles, printing ink and toner cartridges, personal and laptop computers and we coordinate recycling practices in office buildings with other tenant companies. 3. We Promote/Advance Recycling in Our Community We educate customers by advising them about what is or is not recyclable among materials we present to them, and, if available, where to recycle materials. We use the recyclable symbol to identify paper and paperboard products made from fibers that, after use, are suitable for recycling. We ensure that all environmental labeling is clear, honest and complete, so our customers may know the exact nature of what is being claimed and provide customers with information about recycling in our catalog. We participate in DMA's "Recycle Please" campaign. Just the Beginning: VersaDesk is committed to continually improving our environmental performance. We endeavor to integrate environmental considerations into all aspects of our operations. We readily acknowledge that environmental stewardship is an ongoing challenge and a continual learning experience and we have therefore formed an internal Green Task Force to research best practices and to explore the possibility of partnerships with other companies, environmental and conservation organizations, and local communities, all with the intent of further strengthening our environmental stewardship 2023-03-14 - [Boost your study sessions with the power of a standing desk!](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/boost-your-study-sessions-with-the-power-of-a-standing-desk): Standing desks are becoming increasingly popular in the classroom, as more and more schools are discovering their potential benefits for students.

Unlock the Power of Standing Desks in Schools - Learn Why They Are Essential! The idea of sit to stand desk for children has been dismissed by many as a pointless piece of furniture. Indeed, at first glance, it appears as though kids never stay still and so there isn’t much need to have furniture that encourages them to remain upright throughout the day. However, upon further inspection, one will see that this simply is no longer the case. In today’s modern world children start each morning sitting down at breakfast and then sit in their seats while commuting to school. Once there they remain seated all day in class before doing more homework while seated yet again later in the day when they get home. This continues at dinner and finally on their couch watching TV or using social media or their phone before going to bed – it is quite a lot of sedentary behavior during a single day, with no room for anything else other than sleeping! It is very clear why sit to stand desk are needed in schools then – especially given that being constantly seated can be detrimental to both physical and mental health. Not only do such desks allow children to switch positions periodically but also keep their systems awake with positive activities such as writing or even working out small math problems whilst standing instead of slumped over a desk. Moreover, standing can help immensely with concentration and alertness, allowing students to remain focused on their tasks for longer and with greater ease. 1. Physical Health Benefits The use of a standing desk has become increasingly popular for students studying or working from home due to its physical health benefits.

Prolonged sitting can be associated with an increased risk of developing diseases such as cancer and diabetes, as it may also raise the risk of cardiovascular-related mortality.

The small amount of movement they allow can help reduce excess energy and improve classroom performance. Standing desks provide high school and university students with more flexible learning spaces, which can foster collaboration and engagement. It is anticipated that electric standing desk will become part of classrooms, home learning setups, and libraries to increase productivity in higher education. It is thought that increased engagement and reduced stress can be beneficial to university students who typically handle large amounts of complicated materials.

Customizing the Use of Your Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/how-long-is-too-long-customizing-the-use-of-your-standing-desk): There is some confusion about how to use a standing desk. Some people assume that a standing desk means standing all day. Trying that, especially if you are new to a standing desk, is going to result in sore feet and possible pain in your hips, knees, back, and neck. After all, standing uses different muscles from sitting and doing any new activity for long stretches of time requires a period of adjustment. However, even people who expect an adjustment period wonder if it is possible to stand for too long. The answer is not as straightforward as you think. How long is too long? Generally, prolonged standing is described as standing for more than eight hours a day. There are a number of potential health complications associated with prolonged standing including foot pain, venous insufficiency, and referred pain in the back. People at high risks for this type of pain are people who are standing but are still relatively sedentary, such as cashiers. What is standing? Many people think of standing as being on their feet. However, does not equate to being upright. Instead, it refers specifically to standing in one place. The demands on your body are different if you are simply standing or if you are walking, bending, and otherwise moving. The more movement involved, the less stress on any individual muscle and the less likely you are to feel pain or receive injuries from muscle fatigue or overuse due to standing. Is using a standing desk standing? For most people, using a standing desk is relatively low movement when using the desk. However, depending on the demands of the job, there will probably be some movement involved. Walking around the office, moving to do different things at your desk, handling other job duties means that most desk workers are not going to be standing still for an entire day. However, if your job primarily requires you to be at your desk, you may have to incorporate some other movements into the day. What is the optimal time to stand? People should be aiming at standing two to four hours a day. You do not have to make the transition to standing overnight. Instead, you can gradually increase the amount of time that you are standing. How much should I sit? In fact, instead of concentrating on how long you are standing, you should look at how much you are sitting. People do not just sit at work. You sit while you are driving or riding in a car. You probably sit and watch TV. You may sit a lot at home. You want to replace some of that sitting with other activities and standing is one of them. 2021-05-19 - [How Long Should You Stand Rather Than Sit at Your Work Station?](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/how-long-should-you-stand-rather-than-sit-at-your-work-station): If you just got a standing desk and approach it with an enthusiastic attitude, the odds are good that you are going to think you made a bad decision. Many people who get standing desks are so enthusiastic about using them that they try to immediately go from sitting all day to standing all day and end up with sore feet, weird muscle strains, and aches. This leads to them giving up on the standing desk and assuming that it isn’t the right solution for them. First, standing desks are not really designed to be used exclusively. Standing all day may avoid some of the health pitfalls of sitting all day, but comes with its own health risks, mainly sore feet, knees, hips, and back. Instead, people should be aiming for a good mix of sitting and standing. The old thinking was that standing for 15 minutes of every hour was long enough to get the health benefits of standing, but newer evidence suggests that you should be standing at least 30 minutes of each hour. While it is important to make sure you are standing long enough, you also want to make sure that you are sitting frequently enough to avoid the aches and pains that can come with extended standing. For a typical 8-hour workday, this means standing no more than 45 minutes of each hour. However, if you are new to a standing desk, we encourage you not to try to start out standing 45 minutes of every hour. You are going to be using different muscles and different posture than if you are sitting. You want to give your body time to adjust to the changes. You need to slowly incorporate standing into your workday, gradually building up to your optimal time, which might not be as long as 45 minutes each hour. You also need to strengthen your core. While standing may not seem to use core muscles, standing properly and with good posture does. The stronger you get your core, the fewer aches, pains, and even potential lifelong problems you will experience from extended use of a standing desk. In fact, while standing desks are a great first step to helping break unhealthy sedentary office habits, they are only the first step. In addition to standing, you must make sure and incorporate regular and varied movements throughout your day, as well. 2021-04-30 - [Experts Advise Use of Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/experts-advise-use-of-standing-desk): By now, everyone knows that there are health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle and this includes sitting for extended periods at a desk. Humans were not designed to do desk work and it can be difficult to get the ergonomics of desks right to minimize the risk of repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel, upper-cross syndrome, or tendinitis. Standing desks offer a wonderful alternative to sitting desks because they are easier to arrange ergonomically and help avoid many of the health risks associated with being too sedentary. While it may seem dramatic, the evidence is clear that sitting is simply not healthy. The more people sit, the greater risk they have for developing serious health conditions. Standing may not seem like exercise, but it avoids many of the negative health consequences of sitting. In addition to improving your body, standing also seems to stimulate brain activity, which means a standing desk could actually make you more productive at work. One of the biggest physical complaints mentioned by people with desk jobs is back and neck pain. People are just much more likely to slump and slouch if they are seated at a computer. Standing desks encourage people to move, which means not maintaining a fixed position for overly long periods of time. Moving around while at a standing desk may not substitute for exercise, but it does help prevent these neck and back pains. Many people moved to remote-based work environments when COVID-19 hit, and there has been a lot of reports of people gaining COVID-19 weight. While some of that weight gain is probably due to stress-eating, it is also due to a reduction in activity. If you were an office worker, you probably did not realize how often you moved around until you were working from home. While standing is not going to substitute for cardio, it can help burn extra calories and increase your heart rate, which, in turn, can lower your risk of serious diseases like Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and even cancer! The biggest difference people may feel after changing to a standing desk is a reduce in stress. If you are standing, you are more likely to move. People who move more have better physical and mental health. The difference may be subtle, but over time people report being better able to handle stressors and feeling less anxiety when given the opportunity to stand while working. 2021-03-05 - [Seven Benefits of a Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/seven-benefits-of-a-standing-desk): To say that standing desks can be a real lifesaver may seem to be a bit dramatic, but it is totally true. A number of studies have shown a significant correlation between the amount of time a person sits and early death. We will explore some of the possible reasons for that link when we discuss the other benefits of a standing desk, but our number one benefit of a standing desk is that it could help increase your life expectancy by around two years! We all know that obesity is a major risk factor for disease. While obesity and living a sedentary lifestyle do not always go hand-in-hand, there is no doubt that being sedentary increases your risk of obesity. A simple change like having a standing desk helps you live a more active lifestyle. While standing is not exactly high-impact cardio, it does have some of the benefits of exercise, such as raising your heart rate and burning more calories than sitting. The third benefit of having a standing desk is that it might be able to lower your blood sugar. While there have not been any large-scale studies to support this, small studies have demonstrated that standing can reduce blood sugar spikes significantly, which is especially helpful for people with Type 2 diabetes. Neck and back pain are two of the top complaints from workers who are deskbound all day. Sitting at a desk encourages some very unnatural postures that put people at risk for neck and back pain, as well as repetitive stress injuries. Using a standing desk can help you use proper posture and eliminate some of that pain. Given the positive impact a standing desk can have on obesity and blood sugar, it should come as no surprise that standing desks may help reduce cardiovascular disease. Prolonged sitting is linked to an extremely increased risk of heart disease, and it does not appear that exercise alone can counter the negative impact of so much sitting. Incorporating standing as a regular part of your day helps reduce that risk. Some of the benefits of a standing desk are harder to quantify. People who stand report having a better mood and more energy than people who sit, which is no surprise because extended sitting has been linked to depression and anxiety. Maybe this elevated mood is responsible for the final benefit of a standing desk- increased productivity. 2021-03-05 - [The Truth Behind Standing Desks](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/the-truth-behind-standing-desks): You have probably heard the hype about standing desks and wondered how much of it is true. Standing desks are currently trending and people are attributing all types of health benefits to them. Figuring out what is real and what is just hype can help you decide if a standing desk is right for you. We will get the bad news out of the way, first: a standing desk is not going to make you skinny or let you skip the gym. While it is true that you burn about 10% more calories standing than sitting, the net increase is only about 8 calories an hour. In an 8-hour day that translates to 64 calories which is not enough, on its own, to help you lose weight or even to prevent weight gain. Standing burns significantly fewer calories than walking, so even if you get a standing desk you need to make sure and incorporate regular physical activity into your day. Of course, comparing direct energy expenditures of standing and sitting in a controlled environment tends to ignore some other factors that surround the idea of being sedentary. If you are at a standing desk, are you more likely to incorporate some exercise into your day, even if it is just a few jumping jacks or squats? Are you more likely to walk around the office if you are at a standing desk? Are you less likely to snack? While the studies on these questions are not yet completed, there is substantial anecdotal evidence to suggest that standing desks encourage people to engage in other healthy habits. We know that extended sitting times are linked with a variety of health problems including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and even premature death. A standing desk is not the final solution to these problems but can be a good first step. Standing desks also help you avoid the body issues caused by the ergonomics of extended sitting. Next strain, eye strain, upper cross syndrome, carpal tunnel, and tendinitis throughout the arms and neck may all be linked to constant screen usage and the posture people take while seated. A standing desk can help you correct those problems and ease some of the strain on the body. In fact, using a combination of standing and sitting, as well as taking frequent scheduled stretching breaks can help you avoid or treat many of those issues. 2021-03-05 - [The Keys to Robust Work Health](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/the-keys-to-robust-work-health): How standing desks are key to work wellness Fact: The work health of Americans is at risk due to too much sitting. The vast majority of Americans make their living by sitting at a desk and, by the way, they hate it. So what we have is a vicious cycle of pain and discomfort that leads to a host of life-threatening diseases that benefits absolutely no one. We all want to be healthy and comfortable. Humans don’t typically agree on anything but health and comfort are universal goals. However, they do require some diligence for work wellness. Follow these few tenants and you’ll be a healthier, happier and more productive person at work. “A Good Stance and Posture Reflect a Proper State of Mind.” Sitting may not seem like unhealthy behavior but, in reality, hours of it will kill you! That doesn’t mean you need to run a marathon from 9-5; even just a few posture tweaks can make a world of difference. One of the simplest changes you can make to your work health is buying a standing desk. If sitting all day is the smoking, having a desk that allows you to stand for periods is an easy fix. An ergonomic desk doesn’t mean you have to stand all day, in fact, that’s not healthy either! Our caveman ancestors didn’t spend a lot of time typing at a desk and it seems we aren’t meant to either. But since we don’t have to hunt for our food, perhaps a standing desk is more feasible. By switching between sitting and standing, you stop all the damage that’s done by doing too much of one or the other. From there, small adjustments like having your monitor an arm’s length away or having your hands at or slightly below your elbows also help. The data is in and standing desk has proven to benefit work wellness across the board. Work Wellness is Your Environment Too: “Control Your Environment, Otherwise It Controls You” Another key to work health is your surroundings. Sure, a standing desk will go a long way but your work setting is also key. A study by Princeton University found that messiness affects your ability to concentrate and focus. It puts facts to the idea of, “Cluttered room, cluttered mind.” By creating a neat and tidy workspace, you will find that getting down to business comes easier. Fuel is another vital factor in work wellness. It’s simple: you are what you eat. A double meat burrito from Chipotle is more likely to induce a nap than a furious work binge. Nutrition, whether at work or home is fundamental to keeping your body in order. Healthy, small snacks eaten over the course of the day are far more effective. Short breaks to stand up, walk around and take your eyes off your screen are also highly recommended. Taking care of yourself isn’t rocket science but it does require discipline and awareness. Sure, you can strap in matrix style and not move for eight hours, but eventually, that will catch up to you. You Are Not a Caveman or Woman, Take a Walk The prehistoric human, our ancestors, were probably in great shape. However, they didn’t work in front of a desk, drive a car or watch TV. They also froze to death. So objectively, we have it a lot better. Nevertheless, the lives of many Americans have become too sedentary. That is part of the reason why we are seeing diabetes and heart disease at all time rates. Our bodies can’t handle hours of extended sitting. That is why whether it is a standing ergonomic desk or taking a 5-minute walking break every hour, sedentary periods must be broke up. So take a hard look at your work health and see what changes you can make. 2018-08-06 - [Adjustable Standing Desk Riser for Work Health | VersaDesk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/work-health-get-in-the-zone-with-an-adjustable-standing-desk-riser-1): Boost work health with an adjustable standing desk riser.

That is because it’s true. Office workers are especially at risk since their jobs require them to sit at a desk for prolonged periods. Sitting for long periods of time can cause neck strain and back pain. It may not sound like debilitating behavior but the statistics are in and sitting can kill. Therefore, since 80% of jobs in America are considered sedentary, it’s time Americans took a hard look at changing to an ergonomic desk setup. Standing desks benefit thousands of office workers all over America. Not only are these savvy Americans avoiding serious health complications, they are feeling better than ever by switching from traditional desk to a motorized standing desk. Read on if you’d like to learn about standing desk benefits. Positioning: Right Place, Right Position Standing is something we’ve all done since our first awkward steps. Unfortunately, especially at work, most of us have been doing it wrong. Our bodies work in concert, so even the smallest deviations can lead to pressure in the wrong places. One common mistake is leaning forward to see your screen. By leaning forward, you’re placing tension on your back and neck. Make sure you have a proper standing desk height to alleviate this issue. By having your screen closer to eye level, you’ll be able to work effectively without dipping your head and causing back pain. This is where a standing desk benefits your body greatly. Quit sitting hunched over. Sit up straight and adjust your desk for proper ergonomics. Another position tip involves your keyboard. Most people type with their keyboard below chest level, which can create problems. Working in this position for an extended period is bad for your arms, shoulders and wrists. This standard position limits circulation and puts stress on your joints. The ideal location for your keyboard is below your desktop and slightly under your elbows. Unfortunately, this is essentially impossible for laptop users. Using a separate keyboard is a possibility but understandably not very practical. Desk Height & Posture To best utilize an ergonomic desk setup it’s all about positioning. We’ve covered the optimal position for your arms and neck, now it’s time for your feet and the desk. The beauty of a motorized standing desk is its flexibility. With a simple touch of a button, you can adjust your standing desk height until it fits you to a tee. Such choice then begs the question: what is the perfect desk height for you? Thankfully, this helpful website give you the answer, simply put in your height and find out the exact height that’s best for you! Finding the proper height for your desk and monitor is key to achieving ergonomic standing desk benefits. Now it’s time for your feet, the foundation. How you position your feet sets the tone for the rest of your body. First, place them hip-distance apart with one slightly in front of the other. By staggering your feet you’ll be relieving pressure from your lower back. Your weight should be on the balls of your feet. Shifting your weight from side to side is recommended to avoid stagnating. A great tool for helping your feet is an anti-fatigue mat and comfortable shoes. Both go a long way is making standing an easier proposition.

We put in long hours to pull ourselves up from our proverbial bootstraps. Fighting back, neck and lower body pain shouldn’t be part of the battle to succeed. A standing desk benefits not only your body but also your productivity. It’s a lot easier to get things done when your body is feeling good. Check out one of VersaDesk‘s sit stand desk top risers and desk applying ergonomic desk setup methodology and see how it can change your life! 2018-07-06 - [Standing Desks Benefit Office Workers Everywhere](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/standing-desks-benefit-office-workers-everywhere): How Using Standing Desks at Work Can Help You Stay Healthy They say that health is wealth; in that case, wealth may be found in the many benefits of a standing desk. On the face of it, that sentence may not make a lot of sense. However, as we detail the litany of health issues that are derived from office work, it will all come together. Staying healthy at the office may take more attention to detail than you realized. The Facts: First, let’s start with the fact that 86% of American workers sit behind a desk all day every day. Then let’s add that 70% of those full-time workers hate all the sitting they do. Last but not least, those same Americans tack on another 4-8 hours of sitting at home while watching TV, gaming, “lounging” and using their computers. Tally it all up and the typical American sits for an average of 13 hours a day. (source) Is this you at the end of your work day? The Stats: That’s a serious amount of sitting. What’s even more shocking are all the health issues that stem from so much sitting. Consider this quote published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, “Worldwide, it is estimated that a sedentary lifestyle is responsible for 6% of coronary heart disease cases, 7% of type 2 diabetes, 10% of breast cancer and 10% of colon cancer cases. In fact, it was recently reported that inactivity is responsible for more annual deaths than smoking.” The fact that a sedentary lifestyle may be more damaging than smoking should get every American office worker’s attention. The Solutions: Benefits of a Standing Desk So now that you know how damaging a sedentary lifestyle can be, what should you do about it? First and foremost, look into buying a standing desk or sit-stand desk converter, much like what VersaDesk offers. It may sound awful but the benefits of a standing desk could literally be life-saving. A standing desk doesn’t mean you’ll be standing for 8 hours a day as opposed to sitting. In fact, standing that much isn’t great for your health either. No, the benefits of standing desks are found in their ability to change positions quickly and easily without affecting your productivity. By shifting from standing to sitting throughout the work day, you’ll be burning calories, improving your mood, increasing blood circulation in your legs, relieving tension in your back and even strengthening your bones! The truth is there’s a laundry list of benefits of a standing desk. It may seem like a reach but the truth is breaking up periods of sitting goes a long long way toward living a healthy life. But wait, there’s more! The Little Things: You Are What You Eat and Drink We have listed the many benefits of a standing desk, however, it is not the only way to stay healthy at work. One obvious factor is what you eat. A daily double meat burrito from Chipotle may not seem like the worst but it’s not good. According to the New York Post, office workers eat an extra 100,000 calories a year. Much of that 100,000 is due to snacking: chips, cookies, and candies all add up. Taking care of what goes into your body is just as important as what you do with it. Along that same line of thinking is the importance of hydration. Our bodies are mostly water and it turns out drinking it is very important. Without proper hydration you could be damaging your kidneys, causing joint pain, headaches, nausea and more. Dehydration can even affect your mood. Cutting back on the sugary drinks and replacing it with water is a surefire way to feel better throughout the workday. Keep It Moving A standing desk benefits the office worker by breaking up periods of inactivity. Yet, a standing desk isn’t the only way to do that. There are a number of exercises that can be done quickly and easily without actually leaving your desk. We covered them in more detail here. Squats, lunges and inclined push-ups are all easy ways to keep your body healthy. Another good idea is taking a 5-10 minute walk around the office a few times a day. Plan a water refill as part of your walk. Anything that stops the prolonged periods of sitting will fit the bill. In 2018, more jobs than ever require long hours of sitting at a desk. That is why more and more companies are seeing the benefits of standing desks and actually buying them for their workforce. This is not only because studies show that their workforce is more healthy, but also, more productive. So whether it’s a standing desk or 20 minutes of exercise, office workers should be doing something to protect their long-term health. 2018-07-03 - [Standing Desk Risers: Manual or Electric?](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/standing-desk-risers-manual-or-electric): Standing desk risers, whether you’ve heard of them or not, are becoming an office worker’s savior. The stats don’t lie: people who sit for more than eight hours a day have a much higher risk of obesity and early death. There are litanies of studies to back up these assertions, which is why a standing desk riser could save your life. It should be noted that while prolonged sitting has been proven hazardous to your health, so is excessive standing. I know, which are we supposed to do!? The answer is both, which is why a standing desk riser is so vital to your health. An adjustable desk, like the VersaDesk Power Pro allows you to easily sit and stand throughout the day without disrupting your work. Mixing sitting and standing throughout your workday is the healthiest approach to a long and prosperous life. We have covered the “why” for an adjustable desk riser, your health; the question is then, which one? Standing desk risers come in two types: electric standing desk risers or the manual standing desk variety. In this article, we’ll break down the pros and cons of each. It’s Electric!: The Electric Standing Desk Riser PROS: The biggest advantage of an electric standing desk riser is the ease with which you can adjust it. A simple touch of a button and your desk will raise and lower at your command. This makes switching from standing to sitting a breeze, keeping your body happy and healthy at the touch of a button. One surprising element of certain electric standing desk risers is affordability. Sure, many electric adjustable desks are more costly than their manual counterpart but not all. There are cost-effective options available for electric adjustable desks. Also, something to consider. It’s your health, it’s worth investing in. CONS: One downside of the electric adjustable desk riser is the electricity. If your office or work area lacks an outlet, that’s an issue. For now, these desks run electrically. So no power source, no button powered standing desk riser. Another factor is weight. Because of all the motors and machinery involved with this hassle-free adjustment, electric standing desk risers are typically heavier and a little harder to move around. While it’s true that there are affordable electric adjustable desk risers, in general, the electric variety is more expensive due to motors and so on. Although the wattage one of these pulls will only cost about 40 cents a year. Get Your Manual On: PROS: Manual standing desks come in more variety than their electric brethren. There are full-size desks with cranks. There are small workstations that move with pneumatic systems for quick adjustment. Some manual adjustable desks change height like crutches with ball bearings. The manual standing desk may not be as easily adjusted but there are a bevy of options to fit your exact situation. Whether you have a tiny workspace with no outlets or a second workspace that you’d like outfitted, there is a manual desk perfect for you. Manual standing desks also, in general, are more cost-effective, as they have fewer moving parts. CONS: The real downside of the manual standing desks come when you’d like to change the height. This isn’t to say that all manual standing desks are brutal to change. A few, especially the smaller workstations, only take a few quick clicks. However, many require quite a few cranks of a handle to get adjusted. Some models even require you to lean forward and then pull the weight of your desk up and back. This is really bad for your neck and back. Lastly, many manual adjustable desk risers have limited lift capacities. Meaning if you have too many heavy items on your desk it may not be able to rise as needed. ---------------------------------------- In the end, the adjustable desk riser you choose should be based on your needs and the workspace you inhabit. If you’d like to adjust your desk frequently, have an outlet nearby and don’t plan on moving locations, electric is probably the way to go. However, if you don’t have a lot of space and only plan on adjusting your desk once or twice a day, manual may be the way to go. The key to choosing the right desk is having your priorities in order. Know what is important to you and don’t hesitate. A standing desk riser could save your life and that’s no hyperbole. 2018-06-26 - [10 Exercises You Can Do At Your Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/10-exercises-you-can-do-at-your-desk): These easy exercises will do your body wonders! The idea of exercising at your desk may seem a bit over the top. But in reality, it is vital to your long-term health. Thankfully, we aren’t talking about high-intensity exercises that will leave you in a pool of sweat. No, all that is necessary to improve your productivity, mood, and overall health prospects are simple, easy exercises you can do at your desk. The truth is humans were not meant to sit at a desk all day. According to the Mayo Clinic, a sedentary lifestyle can largely be to blame for obesity, high cholesterol levels, high blood sugar and excess fat. These may not sound like death knells but they are all antecedents to more serious health problems. It may seem like an exaggeration, but the truth is these simple exercises you can do at your desk could be the difference between a healthy, fit and active life and one that is wrought with health complications. The Cornerstone: Squats Squats are a simple and easy way to exercise some of the biggest muscles in your body. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and sit in an imaginary chair while keeping your back straight. Squatting is great for your lumbar spine, lower back, hips, legs, and thighs. Back pain is commonly associated with desk jobs. Thirty squats a day is one of the best ways to ease the tension in your back and stretch out your spine. Not to mention, you’ll be building that booty, which can’t hurt anyone! Old Faithful: Push-ups If the idea of getting on the floor at work is untenable, fear not; push-ups can also be done at your desk. Merely place your hands at the edge of your desk, angle your body and do a push-up as if your desk was the floor. It may not be as effective as a horizontal push up but desk exercises aren’t meant to get you into fighting shape. These desk exercises are meant to fight off the consequences of hours of sitting. Easy Peasy: Calf Raises Calf raises are the simplest exercise on this list. Stand behind your chair for support and go up on your toes. Hold that position for a second and put your heels back to the floor. That’s it. Do 3 sets of 10 and you’re all set. Calf raises are a great way to stretch your legs without doing laps around your office. Squats Part Deux: Lunges Lunges are essentially squats but done one leg at a time. Standing feet together, simply step forward and drop the back knee to the floor. Let that knee lightly touch the ground before standing up and bringing both feet back together. Repeat with opposite leg. The motion is similar to proposing, just 10 times on each leg. Up The Intensity: Wall-Sits This exercise is a bit more intense than the previous few, depending on the duration. Wall sits are simple. Find a wall, press your back against it, slide down to sit in an imaginary chair and hold that position. Soon you will feel the burn in your legs. This is a great desk exercise to combat all the damage done to your back while sitting for hours on end. We recommend 10-30 seconds per wall sit. Curls for Girls or Guys: Bicep Curls This may seem like a desk exercise that requires some equipment. Not so fast. If you’d like to work on your gun show, place your hand flat under your desk. Then, with your elbow at a 90-degree angle, exert an upward force against your desk for six to 10 seconds. You can adjust which part your arm your exercising by changing the height of your chair. With consistency, you’ll be ready for tank tops on casual Friday in no time! Gun Show Part 2: Dips Bicep curls are for the front of your upper arm; dips complete the gun show by working your triceps. Stand with your desk or stationary chair behind you and hold the edge with both hands. Let your arms take your weight and sit until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Then push yourself back up using your arms. Do three sets of 10 and watch as your arms build definition in no time. Get Your Childishness on: Chair Swivels This particular exercise you can do at your desk may be your boss’s least favorite but it is likely to be yours. Sitting in your chair, grab your desk edge with only your fingers and thumbs. Then, swivel back and forth 15 times with your feet off the floor. You’ll be working your core while going back to your days spinning in circles as a kid. Core muscles are one of the most important for those working desk jobs as strong abs will keep back pain at bay. You Might Look a Little Crazy: Jogging in Place This exercise is pretty self-explanatory. It is also the best exercise on this list for getting your heart rate going. Elevating your heart rate for short period is the most healthy exercise you can do. Your heart obviously is what keeps everything running smoothly so having it in good shape greatly behooves any person. Unfortunately, you may look slightly manic jogging in place. However, when you are in 80’s and still in fighting shape, you’ll be glad you did it. Easy Legs: Chair Leg Lifts Another easy lower body exercise you can do at your desk is leg lifts. Sit on the edge of your chair, back straight and raise one leg until it is straight and hold for two seconds. Then repeat 15 times for each leg. Many people don’t realize that generally back pain is caused by leg issues. After all, everything is connected. By having strong, fit legs you’ll be doing your back an amazing service. 86% of workers in the United States have desk jobs. And the fact of the matter is, sitting for extended period of time is egregiously bad for your health. Yet, that doesn’t mean you need to join a gym or hire a personal trainer. 20-30 minutes of exercise a day, like doing these exercises you can do at your desk, goes a long way in fighting the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. If you just make a conscious effort to stand up and walk around every 40 minutes or so, you’ll be doing your long-term health a giant favor. 2018-06-19 - [Sitting Or Standing: Adjustable Desk Solves An Age Old Problem](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/sitting-or-standing-adjustable-desk-solves-an-age-old-problem): How an adjustable standing desk can not only save your body but your life. In 2018, we are prioritizing our health more than ever; yet, the vast majority of the population are lacking a vital tool in the battle for well being: an adjustable standing desk. To many, the idea of standing as opposed to sitting at work is akin to Chinese water torture. That’s likely because most people relate the idea of standing to being a security guard or dishwashers. Jobs that are incredibly taxing on your body, even if you aren’t moving much. However, the point of a sit-stand desk isn’t to force you to stand all day. In fact standing all day comes with its own health complications. The idea of an adjustable standing desk is to find the right balance of sitting and standing that keeps you productive, healthy and happy. Don’t believe that standing can improve your overall well-being and output? Well, read on because we are about to put that belief to bed. What Sitting Too Much Can Do To You: “…prolonged sitting produces chemical changes that lead to the deposit of fats in unhealthy places.” Let’s start with a jarring fact: according to Dr.David Agus, sitting for more five hours a day is the equivalent to smoking more than a pack of cigarettes a day. Without getting too technical, prolonged sitting produces chemical changes that lead to the deposit of fats in unhealthy places. According to Harvard Medical school, it is these processes that put people with sedentary lifestyles at much higher risk of obesity, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and even premature death! Standing burns more calories and essentially resets your body. This reset essentially minimizes damaging fats from settling into places it shouldn’t. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t to buy a very tall desk and stand all day. That comes with its own set of complications… What Standing All Day Can Do To You: Just when you thought you were doing some good… If the idea of standing all day sounds like one of Dante’s seven rings, that’s because it is. It is also about as healthy as living in one of the rings. Anyone who’s worked a sales floor or in the food industry can tell you the pain and difficulty of a job that allows you to sit less than 5% of the time. The numbers back up the anecdotal evidence. The Institute for Work & Health in Toronto found that those who primarily stand are actually more at risk for heart disease than those who sat. It appears you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Thankfully there is an answer: an adjustable standing desk. How A Sit-Stand Desk Could Save Your Life: We have established that sitting too much can kill you and standing too much might also be harmful. So what are you supposed to do? While studies can’t quite agree on which is worse, they do agree on one thing. Mixing some sitting and standing throughout your work day is by far the best thing for your short and long-term health. That’s where an adjustable standing desk is worth its weight in gold. Check out some of the electric height adjustable ones from VersaDesk. These desks lend the option of a quick push of a button for height adjustment. Standing helps burn calories and keep muscles active. Sitting rests your back and stops too much blood from pooling in your legs, which can build up oxidative stress. Doctors recommend going between intervals of 30 minutes of sitting to standing throughout your workday. Unfortunately, being healthy is never the path of least resistance. Proper care of your body requires persistence and attention to detail. An adjustable standing desk makes it easier than ever to avoid damaging your body without even knowing it. However, a sit-stand desk takes some adjusting to. Start slow, stand for 15-20 min at a time with breaks whenever necessary. Don’t go from sitting all day to standing half the time, instead allow your body to adjust to standing part of the time. Also, an anti-fatigue mat is a fantastic supplementary product that will ease tension on your knees and ankles. You only get one body and an adjustable standing desk is one of the best ways to ensure it doesn’t break down before its time. 2018-06-06 - [How To Convince Your Boss To Get You A Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/how-to-convince-your-boss-to-get-you-a-standing-desk): If your boss is amazing and you have a little more leeway to ask for things that you may need, then why not ask for an electric powered push-button height adjusting standing desk! Companies worldwide are aware of the residual effect of having a happier productive employee can be. That is why more and more companies are investing in their companies through their workers well being by getting them a standing desk. Tip #1: Start with a compliment. Compliments won’t get you what you want, but it does brighten another person’s day, especially if it’s a bad one. But, if you really want to get someone to buy you something, you have to present a real need. If you’ve just had back surgery, for example, a standing desk would definitely keep you productive in your workspace! Don’t just say, it show it. Remember actions speak louder than words. Tip #2: Be specific about the pros and cons. Before you speak to your boss, create a list so that you are prepared. Maybe your boss isn’t ready to commit to spending the money to upgrade your desk to a standing desk, but if he or she is able to upgrade desks over a period of time, then it won’t be as bad. It would be a more affordable expense and one that would help to promote office morale. Something to consider mentioning when speaking to your boss or HR. Electric desks like the original Electric Pushbutton VersaDesk Power Pro, are powered by a motor that pulls as little as that of a cell phone charging. Built-in surge protectors make sure that your electronics work for a long, long time, and a competitive lifetime money back warranty on frames and 3 years on the motor guarantee that your desk will be a worthwhile lifetime investment! Tip #3: Offer solutions to the cons. Manual desktop risers cause unnecessary strain on your back. You have to lean forward and lift the whole weight of your desk and the contents on its surface. Often these manual standing desk risers are unstable as well. There have been several reports of manual desk risers falling on people, due to their inadequate structural design. Gas powered standing desk systems can leak oil and other manual standing desk systems are more or less annoying with their clicking noise that comes from adjusting to a pre-determined set notch. Cheaper height adjustable desk options often use plastic for their surface structure as well, which leads to a cheap feeling overall and easily scratched and does not clean well. An electric sit-to-stand desktop riser from VersaDesk is the only truly affordable ergonomic option. You won’t need to bend over, to adjust your desk. All of the VersaDesk sit-to-stand desks and desk risers are powered by patented electric push-button height adjustment technology that allows you to go from sitting to standing in seconds and all at the push of a button. With these outstanding features, you won’t want to stand behind anything else!

Not only can ergonomic desks improve the mental and physical health of a workforce, but studies have shown that they improve productivity as well! A vast majority of Americans spend countless hours sitting behind a desk. Whether you realize it or not, so much sitting is incredibly damaging to your health. The realization of how damaging has companies buying ergonomic desks in bulk. However, just because you have an ergonomic desk doesn’t mean you are now living the healthiest life possible. There are a few tricks and tips that will help you maximize the benefits of an adjustable desk and do right by your body and mind. Read on to learn how to best use your ergonomic desk. Little By Little: One mistake people make with a standing desk is actually standing too much. We mentioned how damaging long period of sitting can be. Well, the same is true for By going from sitting to standing and vice versa you are avoiding the litany of issues that come with either position. When you first get your ergonomic desk, start in shifts. Sit for 45 min, then stand for the same. Don’t overdo any position and your body and mind will thank you for it. Get Some Cushion For Your Standing: Another great tool in the transition to an ergonomic desk is an anti-fatigue mat. It is exactly what it sounds like: a cushioned mat to make standing easier. Going from sitting for 8 plus hours a day to standing, even if it is more healthy, is an adjustment. The anti-fatigue mats are a great product to help ease you through the transition. Posture is Key: An ergonomic desk will go a long way toward helping your posture. But it can’t do everything for you. Where your monitor is positioned is an important element to your posture. For best positioning, raise your monitor as high as possible and tilt it back slightly. You should be able to see the screen without leaning forward, which is bad for your back and neck. A monitor mount is a great way to help you find the best positioning. You should also change positions as you stand. Don’t be static in a single position for hours on end. Shift your weight slightly from left to right or even use a footstool and get your Captain Morgan stance on. The whole idea of an ergonomic desk and monitor mount is to help break up your stationary ways. ---------------------------------------- Ergonomic desks are the future. Many forward-thinking companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook are switching over to all ergonomic desks. It’s for the betterment of the company and for many people working there. Studies have shown that prolonged sitting or standing can be as smoking. Amazingly though, that isn’t even the only damaging part of sedentary lifestyles. Monitor mounts and ergonomic desks will be ubiquitous in the future. Do yourself a favor and get on the train early. 2018-05-03 - [Benefits of a Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/benefits-of-a-standing-desk): Sitting too much is really bad for your health. The benefits of using a standing desk will amaze you! People who are sedentary for long periods of time have an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and potentially risk an early death. Also, when sitting your body will burn a lot fewer calories. There are many scientific studies that have linked sitting with gaining weight and obesity. The people who are most at risk are those who work in offices since they sit in their chairs working on the computer for almost all of the day. Fortunately, an answer to this problem is a standing desk. Standing Desk Benefits What is a Standing Desk? It is basically a desk that allows you to stand up or sit down comfortably while you work. They are also called stand-up desks and sit-stand desks. In addition, there are also standing desk converters which are unit that sits on top of your desk and transforms your desk into a standing desk. Many standing desk versions are adjustable so that you can adjust the height of the desk and switch between standing and sitting. These are referred to as sit-stand desks or height-adjustable desks. Research continues to support that a standing desk can have very good benefits for your health. In addition, it may also increase your productivity. The worst case scenario is if you use one of these desks you can partially reduce the harmful effects of being sedentary. The following are 6 benefits of using a standing desk, that is supported by scientific studies: 1. Standing Lowers Your Risk of Obesity and Weight Gain Weight gain is caused by taking in more calories than you burn. Therefore, burning more calories than you take in will result in weight loss. Of course, exercise is by far the most effective way to burn calories quickly and lose weight. However, simply choosing to stand instead of sitting can also help to burn more calories. Compared to working in an office sitting down, an equal amount of time spent standing has shown to burn over 170+ additional calories. Therefore, if you stand at your desk instead of sitting you will burn an extra 1000 extra calories each week. This is why sitting for long periods of time is linked to metabolic diseases and obesity. 2. You Can Help to Lower Blood Sugar Levels Using a Standing In general, the more your blood sugar levels increase after eating, the worse it is for your health. In a small scientific study of 10 workers in an office that was standing for 180+ minutes after eating lunch reduced their blood sugar spike by 43% compared to if they were sitting for the same amount of time. In the study, both groups of office workers were instructed to take the same amount of steps. Therefore, this indicated that the smaller spike was due to standing rather than additional physical movement. The harmful effects of being sedentary after meals may explain why excessive sitting may be linked to a greater risk of type 2 diabetes. 3. Standing May Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease In 1953 it was proposed that standing may be better than sitting for your health. One study found that bus drivers who stood all day had half the risk of heart disease-related deaths as their colleagues that were in the bus driver seats all day. Since then, scientists have gained a much greater understanding of the effects of sitting on heart health, with prolonged sitting time thought to increase the risk of heart disease by up to 147%. The effects of sitting for long periods of time are so harmful that even adding an hour of intense exercise may not negate the negative effects of being sedentary all day. The consensus is that spending more time standing is very beneficial for heart health. 4. A Standing Desk May Reduce Back Pain Back and neck pain are one of the most common problems of office workers who sit at their desks all day. Studies have been done on people with long-term back pain and the participants have reported up to a 32% improvement in lower back pain after many weeks of using standing desks. In addition, the CDC found in another study that using a sit-stand desk reduced neck pain and upper back pain by 54% after just 4 weeks. An important point to note was the removal of the sit-stand desks actually reversed some of those improvements the participants gained within a 2-week period. 5. Improve Energy Levels and Mood with a Standing Desk Standing desks have a positive influence on your overall well-being. In a 7-week standing desk study, participants using standing desks had reported a reduction in fatigue and stress than those who were sitting the entire workday. Also, 87% of those using a standing desk reported increased energy and clarity throughout the day. Again, when the participants returned back to their old desks and began sitting all day, their overall moods reverted to their original stress levels. Research links sedentary time with an increased risk of both anxiety and depression. 6. Standing Instead of Sitting May Help You Live Longer Scientific studies have linked prolonged sitting and early death. This comes as no surprise with the strong association between sitting time, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. 18 studies found that people who sit the most are at a 49% greater risk of dying an early death than those who are sitting for a significantly less amount of time. One study estimated that reducing sedentary time to three hours per day would raise the average American life expectancy by up to 2 years. More studies still need to be done. However, the evidence indicates standing more often could certainly help us live longer. Reducing the time you are sitting can improve metabolic, physical and even mental health. This is why sitting less and standing more during the day is such an important lifestyle to embrace. If you plan to start using a standing desk, it’s recommended you split your time 50-50 between standing and sitting. 2018-02-20 - [Why You Should Provide Healthy Snacks for Your Employees!](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/why-you-should-provide-healthy-snacks-for-your-employees): Healthy Snacks Are One of The Ingredients To a Happier Employee!

While you are adding those extra layers to stay warm, along with it tends to follow the fat calories which tend to add up when you’re sitting at your desk for long hours. Cold weather, rain, and snow tend to keep us all indoors, and when we are hanging out at home staying in to avoid the dreaded weather, it’s still a little too tempting to lie down in a Lazy Boy chair while binge-watching the latest episodes of your favorite show on Netflix. It also doesn’t help when you work in an office that keeps you sitting hunched over your desk! That’s a double whammy! Here are 10 tips to help to keep you healthy and skinny through the winter: 1. Eat Breakfast While it may be counter-intuitive to eat a decent meal early in the morning. A good, healthy breakfast will keep you from snacking too much throughout the day. Eggs, fruit, and toast will provide essential amounts of protein, carbs, and fiber for a healthier lifestyle! A more nutritious meal plan following a diet will make a big difference when you’re focusing on weight loss through the cold weather. 2. Opt for Water Instead of Sugary Drinks Sugar. It’s an addictive additive to a ton of foods. Fat, salt, and sugar are what make our favorite foods so tasty! It can be hard to discipline yourself enough to make the decision, but it’s a really important part of staying fit and healthy! We should make the effort to choose plain water over that deliciously sweet ambrosia, only to reward ourselves once in a while with cheat days. 3. Spend Some Time with People Who are Health Conscious You know those annoying bro guys that are always talking about working out, protein powders, gluten-free snacks when they don’t have celiac disease and stare at themselves in the mirror a little too long while flexing their muscles screaming, “This must be an artillery room because we’re getting ready for THE GUN SHOW !!!” Those guys can surprise you with what they know about health and fitness! Hang out with those guys a little bit and you’ll get in the habit of working on yourself, and building a little self-confidence in the process doesn’t hurt! Don’t ever try to do their workout routine when you’re just starting out, but build up to it gradually. You’ll surprise yourself when you set smaller goals and achieve them! 4. Try to Avoid Sitting Too Much at Your Desk Whether you’re at the office working long hours in order to reach those Q4 and Q1 Deadlines, or at home or in sitting at your computer for long stretches of time looking at social media browsing pictures of food and vacation photos by people with whom you rarely associate because it sucks you in. Don’t let this happen to you! Instead, you should invest in a standing desk so you can get to those deadlines due to the increased energy you will experience throughout your day. Then you will have more time to do other things besides rush home to turn on the tv, like ice skating or checking out the new Yoga studio that opened around the corner. 5. Exercising at Your Desk? It may sound goofy and cheesy, but scheduling an exercise routine like a Japanese office worker in an 80’s buddy comedy might keep you from being stagnant like water sitting still in a puddle. It’ll build some camaraderie between you and the people who sit next to you that you might not otherwise get the chance to show your not so serious side too. Also, getting a treadmill or foot pedal underneath your Standing Desk will greatly increase the calories you burn throughout the workday. Another added benefit, less time you might spend at the gym before or after work, which can free up time for other hobbies. 6. Walking Meetings Sitting in a boardroom with other executives or peers can be a little stale, and one-on-one meetings should be a little more informal. When you have the chance and don’t need to be using a screen to present a report suggest to have your next meeting while walking around the office or in the neighborhood around your place of work. 7. Avoid Burnout by Taking Occasional Breaks Work hard, play hard! That’s the motto that a lot of us follow when we’re so focused on our projects that it’s hard to see the wood for the trees. It always helps to take time for yourself so that you don’t feel too stressed out at the end of the day. In addition, new studies show that if you work long hours and sleep little you are actually forcing a negative impact on your ability to be productive. Your brain needs a rest just like the rest of your body. 8. Try to Get a Good Night’s Sleep Studies have shown that a lack of sleep can lead to a variety of health disorders, and adds unnecessary stress! Try to plan to get a full night’s sleep at least 3 or 4 nights a week if you can afford the time. It will help both your physical and mental health in the long-run! 9. Bring Your Lunch Packing your own lunch means that you know exactly what is going into your own food and your body! A good way to help with saving time while doing this is to cook for the week on our days off so that we can worry less about having to make those meals later! Just reheat and serve! It saves both your time and your health, especially if you’re on a very strict diet! 10. Keep Healthier Snacks at Your Desk Complex carbs can make or break a diet, as those added sugars process a lot more slowly in your body, stored in reserves that a sedentary lifestyle may inhibit! Try to stick to fruits for your sugars, nuts for your proteins, and vegetables for essential vitamins and nutrients. Carrot sticks are great for beta-carotene, and raw almonds are a good substitute for red meat. 2017-11-13 - [12 Tips for People Thinking About Getting a Standing Desk](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/12-tips-for-people-thinking-about-getting-a-standing-desk): Ergonomically engineered standing desks have found their way into multiple offices and living rooms worldwide! Health professionals are praising these new workplace advances that help people keep active in their office spaces. With so many options already on the market, it’s difficult to know what you’re looking for when choosing the right sit to stand desk or tabletop desk riser to suit your needs. We’ve constructed a list of 12 things that might help you make a more educated decision when buying a new standing desk or desk lift: 1. How long will I plan to be on my feet? You’ll be spending most of your day on your feet, so make sure you’ve got comfortable shoes, or purchase an anti-fatigue floor mat to help you for long days at your workstation. 2. Will there be enough space for my new sit to stand desk? Don’t forget to measure your workstation so you’ll know exactly how much space you’ll need. Also, keep in mind that you might need some extra space for things like a computer tray, so add a few more numbers to your measurements to keep yourself comfortable. 3. What is the shipping timeline like (when buying online)? When buying anything, make sure that your retailer has enough product in stock to eliminate any annoying wait times. Also, how much are you paying for shipping, and is your purchase insured from damages? 4. Can it stand the test of time? Major purchases are expensive, and most people will expect a quality purchase to last for at least a full year or more. Is there a warranty and what kind? What kind of materials are used to make your desk? How much weight can it withstand? Is it dust and/or scratch resistant? 5. Will installation be difficult? Some products may come pre-assembled, but others won’t. Make sure you know what you’re getting and if you have the time to figure out how to build your new furniture pieces. Even if you’re the type of person that likes DIY projects, furniture assembly can be a pain. 6. Will you need a multiple monitor set-up or any other accessories? For those of us buying a new desk to fill a workspace, our jobs may provide a multiple monitor set-up to increase productivity. Will your monitors be customizable to your personal preferences? Will you need a computer carrier or USB ports to power other electronic devices connected to your new desk? 7. Do other people like what you’re buying? It’s always a good idea to check online reviews for your purchases. It gives you a better idea of what to expect when you finally receive it. 8. Electronic or manual sit to stand desk and desk riser. What’s the difference? Will it be easy to adjust to the height that you need? Manual desks use notches, hand cranks, and pedals connected to a mechanical gas pump. Gas pedals will run out of fuel, hand cranks get harder to manage with a heavy load, and notches make it more difficult to adjust your standing desk to your personal preferences. You’ll have to remove everything from the top of your desk to adjust its height, which can make manual standing desks difficult to use. Electronic standing desks eliminate these problems but can be a little more expensive than their cheaper counterparts. At times, an electronic standing desk may actually be a cheaper purchase! It’s always good to compare brands and find what’s best for you! 9. Full desk or desktop riser? What’s best for my budget? If you’re looking for a standing desk on a budget, you also have the option to purchase a tabletop desk converter instead of buying a full desk! You can even install a keyboard tray that slides out from the desk that you already own! A full sized desk is a premium purchase, so it should go without saying that you should make sure that you can afford one. 10. How will you manage wires connected to your new desk? Some sit to stand desks and risers come fully assembled, and full-sized desks are sometimes customizable with premium options, like a CPU caddy, optional mounts for USB ports, a cable organizer, etc. 11. How much desk space is available? A lot of different products come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but electronic standing desks and risers are typically built with a low profile. Due to its design, manufacturers are able to adjust its speed, which means that there’s no need to use bulkier materials by trying to be more cost-effective, resulting in a hulking mess that takes up all of your desk space! 12. How will the desk look in my home or office? Are you working in a warehouse, an industrial plant, a corporate office, or are you buying one for your home? Is your new desk customizable? How does it look compared to everything else in your home? 2017-11-08 - [Why VersaDesk is The Best Choice](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/why-versadesk-is-the-best-choice): Better for Your Health VersaDesk just makes better equipment!

We were more concerned with watching our favorite cartoons and getting those sugary goodies. Now fast forward to today, and some of us are dealing with the consequences. A bad back is never fun, so here are some tips to help you with managing your pain! Today we will show you how to stop back pain. 1. Keep good posture while standing and sleeping! There is no absolute “best” thing to do for better posture, but keeping your back straight instead of slouching in your chair, or getting the best ergonomic electric standing desk to keep you from having to sit for too long at work, may help you keep a better posture. Furthermore, choosing a comfortable sleeping position may also help to relieve stress. So, if you’re used to sleeping on your side, then you can place a pillow between your legs. Sleeping on your back means that you can elevate your knees, releasing some pressure from your lower back. 2. Stress can aggravate inflammation! Studies have shown that inflammation is a cause for any type of pain, both physical and mental. Reducing it in the body is how we can help ourselves live a better quality of life! As both body and mind are linked, doing what you can to relieve stress, from exercise to meditation, can reduce inflammation in your body! 3. Limit excessive bed rest! Some bed rest may help to alleviate pressure in your back, but staying in bed too long may lead to other problems, such as constipation and muscles losing tone and definition. Also, long-term bed rest can lead to depressive symptoms, elevating the fluids in your body that cause inflammation to get much worse! 4. Finding and maintaining the right exercise routine! The only way to truly find the right exercise program for a better back is to talk to a physical therapist, or a doctor that specializes in your condition. There are different types of exercises, like seated rotational stretches to minimize impact. While these exercises won’t build tone and muscle, they will strengthen the muscles in your back, which will give you better overall conditioning for your day to day activities. 5. Getting ergonomic furniture and equipment for better health! Working for long hours in a computer chair, or sitting in front of your computer for extended periods of time, can create those same problems that you get from excessive bed rest. An electric sit to stand desk or desk riser can definitely improve your quality of life in the workplace, and portable equipment like dumb bells and mini exercise bikes can make it easier for you to stay active while doing low impact aerobic and anaerobic exercises from the comfort of your own home or office! 6. Stop using the brace as soon as you feel comfortable! Keeping the brace on for too long may lead to sedentary behaviors, adding unnecessary stress from staying stagnant, as well as the muscle loss as described earlier. Try to become more active as soon as you heal so that you can continue strength and endurance training for your body! 7. Applying both ICE and HEAT! Anyone who has experienced a back injury knows how much impact it can have on a person who likes to keep moving. Applying an ice pack to reduce swelling and a heat pack to relieve pressure in 15-30 minute intervals, in accordance with medication used to help treat pain, may help to minimize the injury from becoming long-term. 2017-10-03 - [Health Benefits Of Standing Up At Work](https://versadesk.com/blogs/news/health-benefits-of-standing-up-at-work): Millions of people spend thousands of hours a year sitting at a desk. Many of us are all too familiar with the typical 9 to 5 office setting. The problem is, spending too much time sitting down is seriously bad for your health. Research has shown that those who sit for significant periods of time during the day are at higher risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even at higher risk of early death ( source). Moreover, sitting for great periods of time does little when it comes to burning calories. This can lead to inevitable weight gain and worse, obesity ( source). Thankfully, standing desks are now available which can help alleviate many of the health issues related to sitting at a desk all day long. What is a Standing Desk? A standing desk is literally that – a desk which allows you to work while standing yet remain comfortable ( source) What’s even better is an adjustable variety, allowing you to switch comfortably between standing and sitting giving you the best of both worlds. Research is still ongoing, however, many studies so far have discovered impressive health benefits when it comes to simply switching to a standing position at work. At the very least, standing desks have been shown to reduce the health risks associated with sitting as well as possibly increasing productivity. Standing Desks Improve Mood and Productivity Standing desks have been found to promote overall well being and energy levels. In one study, people who used a standing desk were less stressed and fatigued at the end of a 7 week period than those who remained seated all day ( source). Moreover, 87% of participants reported that they experienced higher energy levels throughout the work day while using a standing desk. Interestingly, upon returning to their prior seated position, their energy levels and mood decreased. This links in with some significant research showing a strong link between sitting and mental health. Research is ongoing, but studies have concluded that a sedentary lifestyle can increase anxiety ( source), depression and even impair cognitive ability (source). Although many employers worry about the use of standing desks and the risk of lowering productivity, one study showed that office workers who used standing desks for 50% of their work day showed no impact on characters typed per minute or typing errors (source). Therefore, as a standing desk clearly does not impede your ability in anyway while boosting your energy levels, it is safe to say this could result in significant rises in productivity. Standing For Longer Periods May Reduce Your Risk of Early Death Although this may sound extreme, science has found significant links between increased sitting time and early death. In fact, one study showed that people who sit for longer are at 49% higher risk of dying early than those who sit less (source). To show just how significant this research is, another study concluded that reducing the amount of time sat down by only 3 hours per day would actually increase the average American’s life expectancy by 2 years (source) Reduces Aches and Pains For those who work in an office, experiencing back pain is a common complaint. However, numerous studies have shown that standing desks can reduce lower back pain by up to 35% ( source). A study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that by using an adjustable desk that allows you to alternate between sitting and standing, upper back and neck pain was reduced by 54% in only 4 weeks (source). By removing the adjustable desks, some of those improvements were undone within only 2 weeks. Reduces The Risk of Chronic Diseases There are many studies showing the links between standing at work and reduced risk of chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Standing can significantly lower your risk of obesity by increasing the amount of calories burned per day. One study showed that compared to an afternoon of working while sitting down, the same amount of time standing burned an additional 170 calories ( source). Moreover, higher blood sugar levels are linked to type 2 diabetes. One study concluded that by alternating between standing and sitting throughout the work day found over an 11% decrease in blood sugar spikes ( source). Furthermore, a recent study found those who spent their work day standing had half the risk of heart disease related deaths than their colleagues who spent their work day sitting ( source).
