What is Active Working?
Active working simply means adding movement to an otherwise sedatory working day, to create the ideal mix of sitting, standing and moving phases.
Sitting down for long periods of time lowers metabolism, fewer calories are burnt and the risk of obesity and diabetes increases.
Did you know that standing for 15 minutes per hour while you work will burn 20,000 more calories per year? This corresponds to 6 full marathons and it will help make you healthier and happier!
The German Institute for Ergonomics & Wellbeing (IGR) advocates standing for 30% of the working day, sitting for 60% and moving the rest of the time (10%).

What is Dynamic Sitting?
Nowadays, many jobs often require us to sit in front of our computers and laptops for hours on end. This can be associated with health problems, which is why many experts have long warned that sitting is the new smoking.
However, these risks can be significantly reduced if you take a few basic ergonomic principles into account.
The secret lies in "dynamic sitting" or "active sitting". It's about regularly changing your sitting position while working and remaining active while sitting, rather than staying in one position.

Anisha Joshi, award winning Osteopath & clinic owner, on dynamic sitting:
"This is something I talk a lot about on my social medias as one of the key principles of maintaining a healthy spine is dynamic sitting. Simply put, this means regularly changing your sitting position throughout the day.
Our bodies weren't designed to stay static for long periods, and sitting still for hours can lead to stiffness, poor circulation (which limits the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues, slowing down healing) and increased muscle tension.
Leitz's sit-stand stool, for example, encourages subtle movement, helping to keep your spine engaged and your muscles active. My patients who have used the stool tend to report their back feeling better within just a few weeks."
