October is National Ergonomics Month!

Outfitting your office with furniture that fits each individual perfectly can help immensely. Some benefits include increased productivity and alertness, along with fewer aches and pains resulting in fewer work absences.

While exercise is the most effective method of burning calories, simply choosing to stand instead of sitting can also be beneficial. In fact, when compared to an afternoon of sitting at a desk, to an equal time spent standing has been shown to burn over 170 additional calories.

That’s almost 1000 extra calories burned each week from simply standing at your desk in the afternoon!
