How to alternate between sitting and standing at work

In the first days, 10–20 minutes standing during a call or while reading email is enough. Sit back down before your feet get really tired.

Save two heights on the control panel and tie the switch to the start of a meeting or the end of a task block.

A short walk, water and shifting your support do more than an hour of standing in place. Cables need enough slack, and the monitor and lighting should stay readable in both positions.

A standing mat can be more comfortable on a hard floor, but it does not replace movement.

Precise mouse work is often more comfortable sitting. A short discussion — standing. There is no single schedule. The goal is to change positions regularly without losing focus.

How to set the heights themselves is covered in the guide on desk height by user height; which desk to pick by size is in the catalog and the how-to-choose guide.
