Is your
Office Chair Killing You?
If you work
in an office, chances are you sit over 8 hours a day.
Most of us do more sitting than any other single activity
and
it is bad for our health.
Sitting all
Day long
To make
matters worse, when you punch out, what happens? Our
commutes
have gotten longer so we get up from our office chair only to
sit in
our car. Worse still, we end our day in our easy
chair sitting in front of our flat screen TVs, or going
online. The human body was not designed to sit down
for 10-12 hours per day! But that is exactly what we are
doing every day.
Sitting=Smoking
Shocking
new studies reveal that prolonged sitting will put you in an
early
grave. When you sit down, your body
becomes lethargic and lazy. The more you sit, the more
harm
you do. Doctors say prolonged sitting is the “new
smoking”
and can lead to Heart Disease, Obesity, Diabetes and even
Cancer. Is it any wonder why America is
losing the battle of the bulge?
Experts
Agree
Listen
to
James
Levine, a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist, “chair-living
is lethal. Of concern is that for most people in the
developed world chair-living is the norm.”
Dr.
Alpa Patel, Epidemiologist "Our
study (for the American Cancer Society) suggests women who sat
for more
than six hours a day were 37 percent more likely to
die prematurely... So the bottom line is get up and
stand."
Get Up,
Stand Up
So if too
much sitting is the problem, then the solution is
obvious:
Stand Up more. But most of us can’t quit our jobs
to become a Forest Ranger. And we certainly can’t stand
up
while driving. Since most of our sitting is done at
work, we need to ditch our office chair.
Old
Fashioned Stand Up Desks
Most
standing desks force you to stand up all day long.
This is too harsh a transition for most of us.
What’s worse is that you have to buy a whole new desk for
hundreds of dollars, that isn’t portable and requires space
that you
just don’t have.
And a fully
adjustable hydraulic lift model that lets you sit or stand at
the same
desk can cost $2,500 or more.
But get
this. Standing up all day is not the ultimate solution
either. Experts now recommend a regimen of
“postural rotation”, or simply switching between sitting and
standing
during your work day.
The Perfect
Stand Up Solution
So
after studying work habits, ergonomics experts realized
that
the perfect standing desk would allow you to:
- Stand up
only for part of the day, to avoid
fatigue
- Quickly
transition from sitting to standing, so it’s easy to
use
- Continue to
use your existing “sit-down” desk, for less
disruption
- Pay less
than $100, so even the stingiest bosses will
approve
- Make it small enough to take
it home with you on weekends
So where
can we find this magic solution?
Pop
Up Desk Top to the
RESCUE
The good
news is that the revolutionary PopUpDeskTop delivers all this
and
more. Here is how it works:
- The
PopUpDeskTop sits right on top of your current desk, letting
you
transition from sitting to standing in
seconds
- The
large 36” top gives you a full 3 feet of workspace, enough to
fit your
laptop and all your paperwork
- Solid
construction includes no-slip feet and a super-durable work
surface.
- Hidden
space below is perfect for holding supporting files or your
next
project, keeping your desk clean.
Special
Patented Portability
The
PopUpDeskTop is the only stand up desk that can do this.
When
you want a sitting break you just move the stand and you have
your old
desk back. Now watch this. If you don’t have the
room to store your PopUpDeskTop, simply collapse it for easy
storage. Just loosen the thumbscrews, fold in the sides,
fold
down the back and secure it in the folded position. It
easily
slides behind a door or file cabinet.
What do
PopUpDeskTop Users say?
“I drive 50
minutes to work, sit all day, and then sit for my 50 minute
drive back
home. It's no wonder my legs are numb. But when I
stand up at work, the numbness goes away. Plus I'm
getting
more work done. Since they won't make a car that I
can drive standing up, the only time I can stand and move
around is at
work."
W.T. Ann Arbor, MI
"I love
being able to quickly switch from standing to sitting. My
boss was not going to drop $500 for a fixed-height standing
desk, but
he quickly approved the PopUpDeskTop. Now that he sees
how
much more I get done, guess who wants one) I like it
because
it lets me keep my current desk and stand when I want. I
still sit about half the time, but the day goes much faster and
I get
WAY more done."
C.R. Murfreesboro, TN
“I take my
PopUpDeskTop home on the weekends. It is easy to fold up
and
lays flat in my backseat. I get more done and I just feel
better about getting up off my chair."
