Here’s an easy way to ease into fitness in 2014. According to the Mayo Clinic, sitting for long periods of time correlates to health concerns including obesity, high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol levels. Excessive sitting also appears to have a link to cardiovascular problems and cancer. So how are you supposed to reduce these health risks if you work at a desk all day? One way is to invest in a standup desk. Here are 14 ideas, concepts, and products you can purchase that deserve a standing ovation.
