        The Best Standing Desks to Help You Beat Inactivity While Working From Home

        GET UP OFF OF THAT CHAIR

        There are tons of health and mood-boosting benefits to making the switch to a standing desk.

        For the majority of my workday, I’m either sitting in a chair at my desk in the office or (when at home) laying in a bed with my laptop propped up (this is yet another downside to living in a pint-sized NYC apartment). While working from home (bed) can sometimes be a benefit, just about halfway through the workday every day, my back and knees begin screaming at me, and I’m sure my circulatory system is also not happy thanks to sitting down nearly all day long. To help, I try to do 15 to 20 minutes of awkwardly stretching and readjusting my body, but this never yields much relief. One of the best solutions to beat a sedentary lifestyle while working all day (whether at home or in the office) is investing in a standing desk.

        A standing desk is basically what it sounds like—the surface of the desk is elevated much higher than normal and it doesn’t require a chair. As a result, you can stand and work without having to bend down, which offers a laundry list of health-boosting benefits, including improving circulation, preventing weight gain, reducing neck and back pain, and the list goes on.

        The best standing desks for working from home can be adjusted to better fit your exact working preferences and your height. Many standing desks are also equipped with wheels if you want to move around as you work as well—and trust me, this is an upgrade you never knew you needed but will love. If you’re ready to make the switch and improve your health while you work all day, scroll through below to check out some of the best standing desks for working from home on the market.

        Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk

        When it comes to standing desks, the Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk is one of the best.

        Latitude Run Amilcar Adjustable Peninsula Standing Desk

        A more unique option when it comes to standing desks, the Latitude Run Amilcar Adjustable Peninsula Standing Desk focuses as much on height as it does mobility. The standing desk has a smaller desktop which only fits a laptop and a few smaller items, but makes up for the small top by fitting wheels on the bottom. This allows you to walk and move around as you work instead of having to statically stand or sit in one place. So if you work in a place that requires you to be more mobile or simply want to keep moving while you work, this is the desk for you.
