I have been working a lot over the past few months. Sitting, typing, meeting. Sound familiar? Below is a cool infographic on what happens when we sit all the time. The results are not very good. So I have highlighted in yellow some ways to offset all the sitting. Doing some cat/cow yoga postures in the office is always fashionable, right?
On a serious note, there are a wide variety of sit-to-stand, height-adjustable table options and new technologies in chairs that will make your work environment active and can drastically reduce some of the negative outcomes from sitting. Forward Tilt is a company that I have an ownership stake in. Whether you are looking for a sit-to-stand option or a new chair, they can assess your situation and recommend a solution that fits your needs!
