Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I stand at a standing desk?
Start with 15 to 30 minutes of standing per hour and gradually increase. Most experts recommend a 1:1 to 1:2 standing to sitting ratio throughout the day.
Is a standing desk better than sitting all day?
Alternating between sitting and standing reduces back pain, improves posture, and increases energy. Standing all day is not recommended either, so regular transitions are key.
