Womenlines takes pleasure to welcome Dr Sumiran Passey, MD (Sports Medicine), Director and Medical Doctor, Aktivhealth, New Delhi, India, as a Guest Influencer for Fitness segment at Womenlines! In this informative article, Dr Passey is sharing about ergonomic benefits of a standing desk and what you have to take care while using it-
Workstation ergonomics is the new fad in establishing a healthy work environment. Companies focus on increasing the efficiency of employees by promoting health and wellness. “Sitting is the new smoking” was promoted by many healthcare individuals to reduce the sitting hours, which is a well-established public health concern. A sedentary lifestyle associated with prolonged office-based sitting has been liked to an increase in morbidity, obesity, and chronic cardiometabolic diseases.
Work from home with extended work hours has spiked the queues of low back and neck pain cases with physicians and physical therapists. Along with numerous musculoskeletal issues, psychological sanity has taken a great toll too. Past researchers have reported a high incidence of depression and anxiety, with prolonged sitting and a sedentary lifestyle.
Sit-stand computer-based workstations are been extensively used and are a good ergonomic change to overcome the musculoskeletal issues.
The long term use of sit-stand workstations has shown significant improvement in cardiometabolic parameters, such as improved glucose levels, increased HDL and reduced cholesterol levels as well as homeostatic balanced blood pressure. Those who have experienced long hours of sit-stand variations reported improved posture and significant core stability. The psychological benefits are still been studied, but changes in depression and anxiety scores are encouraging. A study in an elementary school in the United States of America has shown high mean energy expenditure using a standing desk among children.
Ergonomics of a standing workstation
· Forward-facing posture
· Desk height should be below elbow height, to support forearms while you use a keyboard. (Wrist straight, hands at or below elbow)
· Arms should be close to Your body
· Monitor should be such positioned that you do not arch your head and neck and your eyes should be at top of the screen and placed at least at arm’s length away from you.
· Those who use bifocals, lower the monitor by just a few inches for better viewing.
· Change your complete orientation if using multiple screens so that the prolonged stress to neck muscles is reduced.
· Extensive phone users should avoid cradling the phone between your head and neck.
How to switch to a sit-stand workstation.
· Our body needs frequent postural change to avoid fatigue and a permanent slouch.
· Whenever you feel fatigued, standing for short periods (~10 minutes every office hour)
· Increase standing time gradually till you hit your comfort zone.
· After acclimatization switch between sitting and standing more frequently.
So here are a few things you can do right at your desk
Stretch and Rotate the neck
Bend your neck to try and touch your ear to your shoulder, but make sure you don’t touch the two. Hold for a few seconds; repeat for the other side.
Turn the Torso
Towards your right and left, each time holding it for a few seconds.
Stretch
Your hands interlaced, reach for the ceiling, stretch your body upwards.
Extending your right hand, bending it over your head to the left, and then stretch.
Hold for a bit and then switch sides.
Bend over your knee or Hug your knees
By bringing them to your chest and grasp both your ankles; bend your head between your knees and hold for a bit.
Stretch the chest
Take both your hands to the back and grasp, sit up straight and hold for a10 seconds.
Tucking your tummy and squeezing gluts.
The “ideal” way to stand is with your feet forward instead of flared out, actively try to “screw” your feet into the ground, glutes and abs slightly contracted, and shoulders externally rotated
To maintain a good standing posture, muscle fatigue should be overcome by maintaining a good base of support and balance as well as by strengthening the spinal muscles around the trunk (core and gluteal muscles). Stabilization exercises should always be gradually progressive and if required supervised. These could later be incorporated even while standing along with breathing exercises.
Remember good footwear (low heeled with comfortable cushioning or customized insoles) plays an equally important role in maintaining a good standing posture.
Long-standing also comes with many vascular issues involving lower limbs and affects those with underlying cardiovascular conditions, so take rest, stretch and sit at intervals. Weigh the benefits of standing over prolonged sitting and sedentary lifestyle at work.

Any aspiring entrepreneur can learn a lot from the top women entrepreneurs in the world. When it comes to female entrepreneurs, there is a big list of entrepreneurs who have created a name for themselves, from achieving CEO status to starting their successful businesses. Oprah Winfrey is the name which comes first in mind when you think of the list of top women entrepreneurs in the world. I have learnt a lot from Oprah Winfrey, following her videos, articles, books, etc!
Oprah personifies authenticity best way. Her persona has a magnetic pull which can enlighten anybody around her. The challenging journey she has gone through in her early life made her tough and what I observe that every phase of her life saw the much better version of herself.
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
? Oprah Winfrey
Here is my lessons list-
- Always be ready to try something new in life- I will strongly recommend every woman entrepreneur to read Oprah Winfrey Biography by Kitty Kelly Beautifully Kitty has narrated the life-journey of Oprah in a detailed way.
As google reads mentions-
“Kitty Kelly has, over the same period of time, fearlessly and relentlessly investigated and written about the world’s most revered icons: she has now given us an unvarnished look at the stories Oprah has told and the life she’s lead. Kelley has talked to Oprah’s closest family members and business associates. She has probed every aspect of Oprah Winfrey’s life, and it is as if she has written the most extraordinary segment of The Oprah Winfrey Show ever filmed – one in which Oprah herself is fully revealed.”
In this book, Kitty has shared how much Oprah was always ready to move on with something new whenever she felt stuck. After reading this book I made it my life mantra always be open to trying out new things in my entrepreneurial journey!
- Always be authentic and mindful about your intention- Authenticity is all about mindful presence and living in the present moment with confidence and staying true to yourself. As an authentic person, Oprah puts the people around her at ease, like a comforting, old friend who welcomes us in and makes us feel at home. If one of the top women entrepreneurs in the world can be mindful about her presence then we don’t’ have any excuse to make!
- Never Ever Give Up Oprah Winfrey has never let challenges stop achieving her dreams. Even when she was young and was thinking of suicide, she found a way to continue, and this must have only possible by tapping deep into her core of determination and resilience. Even when she had to face issues with her weight problems in thin obsessed society, she never ever lose her focus on her goals.
My heartfelt congratulations and thanks to Oprah Winfrey for guiding so many women entrepreneurs by setting an example of her life. Achieving extraordinary success from a very humble start is inspirational to all wannabe women entrepreneurs across the globe.
