At Home & In Te Garden • Sunday 24 May 2020 Te healthy way to work at home


Working from home means you might miss out on walking or cycling as part of your commute. Plus, it gives you even more excuses not to get up from your desk


Exercise isn’t just good for your phys- ical fitness — it can also have an impact on your mental wellbeing, so it’s important to find alternative ways to stay active. Tere are lots of ways to create an active work environment


that keeps you moving throughout the day. Te right home office setup will ensure you create a productive and comfortable workspace for your needs. Instead of sitting on the sofa, it’s essential to invest in a good home office chair that will give you the right support and help you sit in an ergo- nomic position in order to prevent long-term back and neck pain. Alter- natively, you could try an exercise ball chair. Tis is a great way to combine your work with a workout, as it forces you to engage your core muscles to keep yourself upright and counteract the natural movement of


the ball.


Active sitting chairs are also perfect for kids if you’re home schooling. Te ability to fidget provides a natural outlet for energy, allowing children to concentrate better. For both adults and kids, a dedi-


cated workspace will put you in the right mindset to work, which is why

a desk is so important. An easy way to break the dangerous cycle of too much sitting is to stand up at your desk. A sit-stand desk lets you sit for part of the day and then stand for a while, making it easy for you to switch between the two. Being able to vary your position as you work can make a big difference to your overall wellbeing; standing has been shown to burn extra calories compared to sitting and encourages you to keep moving. AJ Products offers office chairs, desks, storage and more to suit every budget and need — all with a focus on active working.
