You’ve no doubt heard that sitting for long periods of time is detrimental to your health. Too much sitting has been linked to many health concerns including, obesity, increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart disease and diabetes.
For many of us, it’s difficult not to be sitting for most of the day. If your job involves working at a computer, the chances are it’s on a desk and that’s where you can be found from 9-5.
Even working from home, I’m locked to the computer for several hours a day.
I’ve noticed the strain on my back, neck and shoulders and often feel the need to stretch when I stand up. These are the noticeable signs of sitting at a computer, and that’s nothing to say of the unseen conditions already mentioned. Who knows what stress I’m putting my body through?
I’ve read a lot about standing desks and sit-stand desks and the health benefits associated with them. Although not proven it’s thought that, by reducing prolonged sitting and creating an active workspace, you can lower blood pressure, lower your risk of diabetes, increase your blood flow and even increase your concentration levels. It sounds good doesn’t it.
The more I researched standing desks and sit-stand desks, the more I realised that they aren’t made equal. It’s so important to invest in a well designed and manufactured desk. The desk must come up to high quality standards, be solid and well built, and easy to use. Ideally you want to be able to adjust the height of your standing desk so that you can sit-stand during the day.

It’s more cost effective to purchase a sit-stand desk converter than a standing desk
There is also a huge saving in purchasing a sit-stand desk converter. They are more cost effective than replacing your desk and take up no more room than your existing workspace.
Sit-stand converters are the ideal way to experience all the benefits of a standing desk without changing your existing workspace. I think it’s time for me to try a new way of working, especially if it’s going to help me to be healthier and more productive!
The VariDesk Pro range of desk converters are available to buy online from Vari – prices from £275.00
