Yes. Based on reviews from many customers, the standing desk actually helps a lot, letting you shake off tiredness and drowsiness, and become more productive and focused. Sit-stand interaction is a great work state, and standing can relieve pressure on your waist and back from prolonged sitting.
It varies from person to person. You can stand for 5 minutes, 5 hours, or even all day long—it all depends on your physical condition and work habits. But one important point: don’t stand for too long the first time. You can gradually increase your standing time, and always keep your body in a comfortable state.
Actually, no. Studies show that when sitting, people burn an average of 80 calories per hour, while standing burns 88 calories per hour. For comparison, walking burns 210 calories per hour. A standing desk mainly helps stretch your limbs and relieve pressure.
If you want to lose weight, pairing it with a foldable walking pad is a better choice—this lets you walk or run anytime, whether at the office or home.
