Are you sitting down for this? If you’re working at a desk, there’s a 86% chance that you are. By now, you know that sitting all day poses major health risks, but a standing desk could set you back $200 to $2000 - OUCH!

We know, you’ve heard it: Nothing is too expensive when it comes to your health!
