The average US adult sits 6.5 hours a day and according to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs have increased by 83% since 1950. That's adds up to a lot of people spending a lot of hours sitting down, day after day, and it's not good for us. From leg muscles shutting down to increased blood pressure and good cholesterol plummeting, there are so many different aspects of our health that are adversely affected while sitting for such a prolonged period of time. Our busy lives mean many people simply can't find time to go to a gym, but there has got to be a solution for those who have a desk job. A solution that can help keep you active while also helping with concentration and productivity. Luckily, there is. It's called Fitwork.
The pitfalls of sitting down all day have been well researched and reported for a number of years now, but it's not enough just to alternate between standing and sitting. While standing desks are a start, something more is needed to get you moving and encourage healthier joints.
Brian Oaks, the creator of Fitwork, recognized this issue and came up with the ultimate solution for keeping active while sitting at a desk. The patent pending Fitwork Station is the world’s first complete workstation that's designed to keep consumers moving all day long.
Imagine starting the day with a 2-3 mph walk while doing 10-20 minutes reading and responding to those emails sitting in your inbox. Rotate the chair into place and you pedal throufh the morning, then take a quick 10-minute walk before lunch. The versatility of the Fitwork Station enables you to weave a range of exercises into your working day, all while staying productive, burning thousands of calories and feeling great! You won't even recognize you've been exercising until you step on the scales.
The full Fitwork Station package includes a swivel chair, an elliptical, a treadmill and a height adjustable desk, giving you a huge range of movement options. You can also order the station without the adjustable desk, or go with just the Fitwork Chair and Elliptical units.
Health is high-priority, and Fitwork is a high-quality option for those who want to incorporate health into their everyday life.
