Do you ever get tired of sitting in your chair all day at work? I know I do! I try to get up and move around and take frequent breaks, but not all work environments are suited for constant mini-interruptions. Now I do find working out in the morning, and going for a walk on my lunch break helps, but what about the rest of the day? There has to be some way to balance working and being somewhat active. And I think I’ve figured it out. Let me share with you how to keep moving at work with FluidStance.
About FluidStance
We weren’t meant to sit all day. In fact, our bodies were designed to move – chances are your workspace, classroom, or home environment doesn’t let you do that. Here at FluidStance, our purpose is to set the world in motion, starting with our category-creating decks.
Step Away From The Chair
A FluidStance deck is but one aspect of a healthier workday. Regardless of your work environment, we believe everyone can incorporate walking meetings, reserve time to get outdoors, and set frequent stretch reminders—anything that gets you out of your seat and moving. When you’re tied down with responsibilities, we want to provide you with the option of balance and motion.
Plane Cloud Balance Board
Find your balance on the Plane Cloud deck by FluidStance. With it’s textured top and 360 degree tilt, you can help build body strength, improve your balance, and even burn more calories. It’s available in two color schemes and is made from 100% recycled materials.
Other Balance Boards for standing desks include the The Level® and The Original.
My Thoughts
There are a lot of jobs that require employees to stay tied to their desk a majority of the day. It’s just the reality of having an office type job. That being said, wouldn’t it be great to find ways to stay active while you work? I don’t mean lifting weights or getting hot and sweaty while on phone calls! But what if you could make small changes that add up to an improvement in your overall health? These could be as simple as taking a few laps around your work space in between calls or emails. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Walking to the restrooms furthest away. But what about while you work? Let’s talk about how to keep moving at work with FluidStance.
So FluidStance makes eco-friendly products designed to help keep you active, healthy, and organized. They offer products such as balance decks, whiteboards, monitor risers, and more! Ideally you can combine several of these options. So that even though you’re working, you’re also working on your own health and well being, too.
For one of their most comfortable and easy to use balance decks, I would suggest the Plane Cloud balance board. It’s a different version of their standard models. And now with the textured foam top, it’s like standing on a cloud. This allows for longer, more comfortable periods of working on your muscle strength, balance skills, as well as keeping your heart rate elevated and using more energy over the course of your work day. It doesn’t seem like much, does it? You stand on a board, much like a skateboard with no wheels, that looks like it has part of a ball glued to the bottom. So as you stand on it, you have to actively engage your core and leg muscles to stay still.
Helps keep your posture and strengthen core muscles
Don’t worry, it’s not some wild and crazy children’s toy! It’s just enough motion that as you get used to it, your body automatically corrects for it. Then you find your center again. It’s easy to use, especially with a stand up desk, allowing you more time out of your office chair every day. What if you don’t have a standing desk? Well, pull it out when you make phone calls, or have teleconference meetings. You can easily step on and off, if you need to lean over to reach your computer or notebook on your desk.
Actually, this would be a great reason to look at their monitor or keyboard risers. Simply rest your monitor or keyboard on top of the riser to lift it several inches up for easier, higher, and more ergonomically designed reach! And if you take notes, then instead of using sticky paper that you use and toss or notepads, consider using a whiteboard. Capture the information you need quickly, copy that to your computer or tablet as needed, then erase the surface and use it again and again.
All of these products are great for an office set up of course, but they would also be suitable for those who currently school their children at home. If you’re leading class, then instead of always sitting at your desk or kitchen table, why not stand up on the Plane Cloud balance board and teach from there? The kids can use it too, while reading their books or answering questions out loud. There are no batteries, no electronics to engage. Simply step on, and then off.
Home exercise routine
It would even be great to add to your home exercise routine. By using it, you can add the muscle building and calorie burning benefits to whatever other exercise you may already be doing. Or have the kids stand on it while they watch TV or play video games. It’s like a sneaky way to keep their bodies active, while their minds are engaged with the game!
Any or all of the products by FluidStance would be a wonderful addition to your work space, whether at home or in the office. Plus it can be used for students of nearly all ages during their home learning, or during their game time. All that matters is that you are working on your mental and physical health and well being even as you keep moving at work with FluidStance.
