So, Numerous innovations in workstation design have resulted in offices adopting a stand-at-your-desk environment. And while this ensures you’re not sitting all day, it begins to create another problem – standing fatigue. That’s where the Active Office Board by Fitterfirst comes in.
By standing on this simple but effective platform you can remove some of the strain on your body, as it provides cushioning for your feet, ankles, knees and legs. The Active Office Board is adjustable as well, allowing anyone to customize their own experience. Build your balance and stabilizer muscles by rearranging the foam legs to increase or decrease the amount of movement. The unobtrusive design of the board also allows you to fit it under your desk if you decide to sit down but still want to keep your legs moving. Joan Vernikos, author of Sitting Kills – Moving Heals & former director of NASA’s life science division, has even said that in her experience nothing has matched the ingenuity and versatility of the Active Office Board.
If you are looking for a new way to stay healthy while you’re stuck at your desk at work all day, they have a whole line of active office gear that includes standing desks in various sizes and heights. They also have chairs, mats, stretching tools, and even acupressure apparatuses to keep your muscles relaxed and your body fit. Basically, if your office job is bringing your body down, Fitter has options for you.
