What is Active Working?

Active Working involves simple solutions to encourage standing and movement whilst at work.



Sit-Stand solutions:
A Sit-Stand (height adjustable) work station is an excellent solution. It will enable you to simply alternate between sitting and standing as you feel appropriate. We propose mixing it up. Try to stand intermittently at your Sit-Stand desk for periods of between 15 mins and two hours at a time Take breaks, walk around and mix it up every day.

  1. Sit-Stand Desks
