MojoDesk - Standing Desk Review - Varier MOVE - Ergonomic Chair
My name is Stevyn, and I'm the Corporate Kinesiologist for Varier active seating. MojoDesk and Varier have partnered together because we want to help you successfully create an active office.
It’s no secret that we sit too much as a culture. As a result, people are looking for standing desk solutions to combat the negative effects that sitting has on the body.
However, just getting a standing desk may not be a complete solution. According to research, standing still all day isn’t much better than sitting still all day. Sedentariness, whether sitting or standing, is the problem.
Our bodies are designed to be active. In fact, Dr. Levine of the Mayo Clinic was the first to name and measure something called N.E.A.T. It stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis and is a measure of the activity you engage in during work and leisure time (outside of exercise). By increasing your N.E.A.T., you can stave off chronic disease and burn more calories.
You can increase your N.E.A.T. at work by changing positions from sit-to-stand every 30 minutes. That’s why I love that Mojo Desk is a true sit-to-stand desk built with active ergonomics in mind.
You’ve probably heard of ergonomics before. But you may not have heard of ACTIVE ergonomics. Active ergonomics is the new standard for healthy workspaces. This is when a healthy work posture is achieved by engaging your own muscles of the spine and core.
Traditional task chairs with lumbar support and armrests actually hinder your ability to be strong and injury free because the core muscles that stack and protect the spine begin to atrophy (or get smaller).
Standing at a workstation is a better position for spinal alignment than sitting, but muscles become fatigued after a while leading to cocked hips, leaning, and poor posture.
That’s why, as a Kinesiologist, I recommend a 2-part active office solution:
The first step is a quality sit-to-stand desk.
A critical next step, that most people miss, is an active ergonomic chair.
This combination gives you a true active ergonomic workstation so you can rest, when needed, while still maintaining proper spinal alignment.
Choosing active seating to go with your Mojo Desk can be daunting because there are many options. So, here are 3 things I look for in active seating.
Open hip angle
Stacked spine using your own muscles
Ability to move, change position, or fidget
This Move stool meets all 3 criteria, so it’s a perfect companion to your Mojo Desk. In fact, this is what I use at my desk to rotate through a variety of different positions.
Having an option like the Move stool that is N.E.A.T. certified allows you to use your Mojo desk to its full potential so you can fidget throughout the day and keep your body moving and happy.
Good luck on your journey to establish a healthier workspace, and keep in mind that...“ the next position is the best position.”
