FAQs About Buying A Standing Desk In Singapore
Is it worth buying a standing desk?
A standing desk allows you to get up, stretch and still continue with your work! This is great for those with desk-bound jobs and suffer from post-lunch food comas 😂 Standing up while working can also minimise shoulder and back aches.
However, if you’re expecting it to work wonders such as helping with weight loss or avoiding weight gain, you might be expecting too much. Ultimately, the value of a standing desk depends on whether you’ll make full use of its functions!
Is standing better than sitting at the desk?
Sitting at a desk for prolonged periods may cause neck stiffness and backaches. On the flipside, there are several pros to standing at a desk rather than sitting. Some of these include
- Burning 8 more calories per hour
- Reducing shoulder and back pain
- Increasing overall energy levels
How long should I stand at the desk?
Prolonged sitting will lead to neck and back stiffness and pain, while prolonged standing may lead to pain in the back, legs and feet.
Thus, you should ideally alternate between sitting and standing! A general guideline would be to stand for 15 – 30 minutes for every 45 – 60 minutes of sitting.
