Have you ever wondered how much time you spend sitting? Do you remain seated for a period shorter or longer than half a day? For most people, they’re sitting more than they should. On average, a person in the UK sits up to 12 hours a day—more than 85% of the time they spend at work.

Because long hours of sitting can negatively affect an individual’s health, people are searching for ways to shorten it. In Scandinavia, they learned about the positive effects sit-stand desks, so 80% of office workers are now using them. Meanwhile, it’s expected for an employer to provide sit-stand desks in Denmark.

Despite these numbers and the people agreeing to the benefits of alternating between sitting and standing for working positions, only 1% of the individuals in the UK have access to height-adjustable desks.
