Sitting around on your backside all day has never been less popular. The modern sedentary lifestyle that comes from office working is being blamed for all manner of ailments, from physical aches and pains to zapping your creativity and motivation.

The standing desk may seem like a modern fad – you’ve probably noticed a lot of social media posts about them, but it’s been suggested that even in the Victorian ages, pen-pushing clerks used to stand up, moving freely around workstations a lot more than the lazybones workers of the 21st century have become accustomed to.

Less popular with office managers up and down the country having to fork out to replace a whole room of more traditional setups, if you work for yourself, you probably only have one desk to be concerned about, which is much better news for your bank balance. What’s more, you won’t get funny looks for leading the trend for standing in your office.

The problem is, standing up all day is also problematic and strenuous – sometimes you just need a little rest. That’s where adjustable desks like the £335/$395 Varidesk Pro Plus 35(pictured) come in – they allow you to stand up, but also sit down when your tired little tootsies have had enough. They Varidesk is also compatible with your existing desk – so you can allows go back to the old-fashioned way of doing things with minimum fuss. It also has space for your computer, monitor and more and takes just three seconds to go from the sitting to standing position.

The Dangers of Sitting


You may think your desk job is pretty safe, but you could be storing up all kinds of issues. Sitting for long periods of time puts strain on your back, especially if you’re sitting hunched up, or if your setup isn’t adjusted properly. This can cause lower back aches, a strained neck and shoulders, as well as hip and leg problems including osteoporosis and varicose veins. It’s also been suggested that sitting can be put you at greater risk of organ damage and even cancer.
