Active Workstations!

A study done at the Mayo Clinic and lead by Lopez-Jimenez found “that active workstations incorporating a walking pad, bike, stepper and/or standing desk are successful strategies for reducing sedentary time and improving mental cognition at work without reducing job performance. . . . Researchers analyzed participants’ neurocognitive function based on 11 assessments that evaluated reasoning, short-term memory and concentration. . . . The study revealed improved reasoning scores when standing, stepping and walking as compared with sitting.” Study findings can be found in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
