How do you use a balance board or standing mat?
A balance board or standing mat makes working at a sit-stand desk more comfortable and dynamic. A balance board encourages movement while standing, while a standing mat provides additional support and comfort.
- Placement: Place the balance board or standing mat on a flat, stable surface with enough room to move freely.
- Using a balance board: Start with short sessions of 5 to 10 minutes and gradually increase the duration. Make small, controlled movements to maintain your balance and activate your muscles.
- Using a standing mat: Stand comfortably on the mat. The slightly cushioned surface helps reduce pressure on your feet and legs.
- Alternating positions: Regularly alternate between sitting, standing, and moving to avoid maintaining the same working posture for too long.
Benefits of a balance board and standing mat
- Active working posture: A balance board encourages movement and activates various muscle groups.
- Extra standing comfort: A standing mat provides a comfortable, slightly cushioned surface.
- Supports blood circulation: Movements on a balance board help stimulate blood circulation.
- Reduced fatigue: A standing mat can help reduce fatigue in your feet and legs during prolonged standing.
- Ergonomic working: Both products provide greater comfort and variety throughout the working day.
