Active Chairs for more energy

It's well known that sitting still for several hours each day has a negative impact on the body. The body is made for movement and　needs physical activity so it's best if you can avoid static positions at work and change your working position at the desk as often as possible. Don’t forget to take a break and switch positions at regular intervals – not only between sitting and standing, but also between different types of chairs.　

Helps you perform at your best　

An easy and effective way of varying the posture is to use active chairs. Ergonomic seating furniture activates and strengthens the back and core muscles in different ways, improves your posture and increases blood circulation. In addition, moving the body has a positive impact on both the energy level and the concentration, which in turn contributes to both efficiency and productivity.　　

A variety of seating options　

Balance chairs, balance balls and pilates stools are examples of active chairs, which with their built-in instability challenge the balance and force your body to work to keep you upright – without you even noticing the effort. On a saddle chair you sit in the rider position, that automatically give a good posture and reduce tension in your shoulders, hips and knees. If you want to be really active while working, there is also the desk bike, which allows you to increase energy levels and burn more calories at your own pace.　

Increase usage gradually　

An active chair is the perfect complement to the classic office chair. Keep in mind that it may take some time to get used to the sitting position that an active chair provides. So in the beginning, it may be sufficient to use it for an hour a day and then gradually increase its use. If you have a height-adjustable desk, you can easily switch between standing and active sitting, every working day is filled with energy!　

Four benefits of active chairs

3. The back and torso muscles are strengthened and posture is improved. The active chairs provide a natural and good posture, which prevents and relieves back pain.　

4. The mobility of the chairs contributes to increased blood circulation, energy and productivity even in small movements.
