Don't take it sitting down - 6 sit/stand desks that will change your life

Did you know: According to Health Magazine, sitting too much has been shown to up your risk of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic health problems, even if you work out regularly. Yikes!

So how do we negate the effects of sitting all day? Good question. One of my favorite things is my sit/stand desk. The best part is that it allows you to intermittently stand throughout the day and get the blood flowing without giving up your seat. See below for some of my faves.

Here are some sit-stand desks you can buy (or convince your boss to buy):

Amli Adjustable Standing Desk - available in black and white , on wheels, height-adjustable with a gas lift mechanism and one simple lever

UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk - chosen as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter, various size options, with lots of material options, multiple accessories to add including a motion x-board to stand on and an under-desk hammock - yes, a hammock.
