If you believe that your current work set-up is to blame for a decreased productivity, a standing desk — or a standing desk converter — may be your answer.
In addition to helping enhance poor desk posture and alleviate chronic body pain caused by sitting all day, standing desks may also help you improve your fitness over time and keep you energized throughout the workday. Of course, you can also get over your food coma by just standing instead of slouching lower and lower into your chair.
There are two main types of standing desks. The first is an actual desk with adjustable height levels, and the second is an add-on placed on top of your current desk to raise the height of your monitor or screen.
Here are some standing desks for your consideration.
