Standing at the computer is one of the latest trends in IT companies, corporations and freelancers. It's supposed to be good for your back, help you concentrate and make it easier to burn calories. How is it really?
I myself became interested in working at a standing desk relatively recently, probably as anyone who has felt discomfort in the back at least once after sitting at a desk for too long. Currently, I am looking for a solution for myself, and at the same time I have gathered some information about why it is worth being interested in this method of work.
Sitting is the new way to smoke
We are not sitting. Our natural posture is standing, and we hurt ourselves the most when we sit instead of standing. Seated rest reduces stress on the legs, but puts stress on the spine and pelvis, not to mention blocked blood flow.
Sitting has been dubbed "the new smoking" because sitting in this position is expected to shorten your life expectancy by twice as much as smoking one cigarette per hour, not to mention an increased risk of colon cancer, say researchers at the University of Queensland, USA. . Meanwhile, according to the British Psychological Society, we spend a lot of time at our desks (5 hours and 41 minutes on average), while we sit around 9 hours during the day!Electric standing desks, however, allow you to work standing up.

Standing can boost your self-confidence
Enough of this fear, it's time to find a solution.
The solution to this problem is a new fad that has come to us from beyond the waters and is gaining a growing following here too. Of course, it's standing in front of a computer—or rather, part of standing.
What are the benefits of working while standing at a computer?
Our lightened back standing work helps reduce back problems;
We burn more calories - we work harder than sitting, so we burn 280 more calories in 2 hours;
We are more focused - this has to do with our reptilian brain and the "fight or flight" mechanism - standing is naturally our alert posture, so we act more efficiently and decisively;
We do things faster - for all the reasons above, but also because we just want to get things done as quickly as possible and be able to sit down
We waste less time in meetings - so-called stand-up meetings last an average of 1/3 less, are more effective, and have more engaged participants;
we have more energy;
we are more confident;
We are also more willing to cooperate.

Its effects on our health were appreciated abroad several years ago. Standing work (and work movement in general) is even featured in the official advice from Public Health England, the UK Department of Health. According to PHE, if you work at a desk, you should walk or stand for at least 2 hours while you work.

How long do you work standing up during the day?
When someone wrote on Instagram that I was trying to use an L-shaped standing desk for work, his aunts and uncles immediately responded with great advice, saying, "But standing for long periods of time is also harmful!".
of course. No one told you to keep working for 8 hours! 2 hours out of the 8 hours above is the smart best way to feel the benefits of standing in front of a computer. Start by working 15 minutes per hour. You can also try standing on a task that has never been completed.
