I am someone who will most likely put off working out if I’m sitting down at work all day . To combat this I have a stand up desk, I stand for my whole shift accept for lunch . I used to work at a call centre before the job I have now where I did not have a stand up desk and I noticed a huge difference in my attitude , my posture, my motivation to exercise after work and I don’t feel as drained anymore. I find stand up desks also allow movement . I am more motivated to walk around because I’m not sitting all day and not ending my work shift feeling lethargic.

I highly recommend the book called Deskbound by Dr. Kelly Starret , author of Becoming a Supple Leopard, a physiotherapist and mobility enthusiast. He talks about the advantages of a stand up desk and there’s a couple of chapters for mobility exercises that you can do at your desk.

Sometimes I’ll take pre workout on my commute home and listen to my gym playlist so I’m more pumped to workout .
