Before COVID ravaged office jobs and forced many to work from home, standing desks were becoming more and more common in modern workplaces. Now many of us are working from home as a direct result of the global pandemic, sedentary lifestyles are becoming more common once again. It's time to get back to standing. 

Our writer already tried the practice to see if there were any standing desk benefits and here's what she had to say: "After a week I wasn’t slouching, I was more productive and didn’t have those usual aches and pains I was so used to when sitting all day. In short, I was a standing desk convert."

Fortunately, this great deal on a TechOrbits desk converter from Amazon allows you to place the unit on top of your regular desk, giving you the option of extending the riser upwards to create a standing desk. Check out the deal in full below:

Amazon standing desk deal: What's wrong with sitting?

Siting down for too long is strongly linked with lots of lifestyle diseases such as prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Our writer looked at the importance of standing desks, and found a 2014 study showing energy expenditure was 174 calories greater following an afternoon of standing work compared to sitting. 

Over the course of a standard workweek, this equates to an additional 800-plus calories burned. Even if you've got one of the best office chair and best posture correctors you can find, you can still get loads of benefits standing rather than sitting for a few hours a day.
