When your body moves it also engages the mind.

Sitting still is no longer allowed. Our products are built to get your body in motion and even more importantly stay in motion. healthy Make healthy happen by choosing products that encourage a healthier you. The more you move, the better you'll feel.

3 WHY IS MOVEMENT SO IMPORTANT? As studies and news outlets continue to report the importance of movement throughout the workday, Safco is focused on providing solutions to keep user s bodies actively engaged while keeping in mind how and where users work. Standing, sit-to-stand and active sitting can help to engage muscles through small movements such as bouncing, shifting positions and fidgeting. The products also help you maintain posture control for a more ergonomic way to work.

4 POTENTIAL RISKS DUE TO PROLONGED SITTING Prolonged sitting may also increase the risk of some health conditions. This has created the need for Active Working solutions to help support the well-being of employees. TODAY THE AMA ADOPTED POLICY RECOGNIZING...

5 PERCHING POSTURE: THE BENEFITS OF STANDING WITH THE COMFORT OF SITTING It s the third posture, or the act of being upright. And Safco Active is bringing the upright revolution to an office desk near you. So what is this posture? Simply put, it is leaning or perching. It helps to reduce the fatigue of standing while being more active and engaging than sitting. It helps encourage a 135 degree hip angle that is close to the body s neutral position, a position that is more natural to the body and puts less stress on it when compared to standing. This form of seating may also help to increase engagement with major muscle groups and reduce the fatigue of standing at a desk.* Perching is another option to help promote posture perfection and wellness while you work. Astronauts bodies naturally take a neutral posture when weightless. Leaning seats provide a similar posture. Cornell University. Sitting and chair design. Cornell University Ergonomics Web. *

7 SIT-TO-STAND/STANDING DESKS WAYS TO EASE INTO STANDING 1. Our bodies are used to sitting for the majority of the day so ease into sitting. Try standing for 10 to 20 minutes at a time and build up to no more than four hours during your workday. Forgetting to stand up? Set a calendar alarm or download an app for a reminder. 2. Take the proper posture while standing. Standing incorrectly can lead to the user being uncomfortable and possibly straining. 3. Move. Continually change postures by rotating between standing, sitting and moving around your workspace. 4. Value size. Add products such as Onyx Hanging Organizers, Safco Movable Anti-Fatigue Mat or a Safco Active footrest to complement your standing desk. These products will help keep you comfortable and your projects within easy reach.

8 STANDING AROUND JUST BECAME PRODUCTIVE Take a break from office ordinary by standing up to sitting down. Standing and adjustable-height desks are great alternatives to sitting all day and help encourage more movement than simply being seated at your desk all day. Studies are consistently showing the benefits of standing including the possibility of burning extra calories as compared to sitting. And Safco Active doesn t take standing up lightly. We offer a variety of standing desk options to complement any workspace look and your comfort level for standing. Adjustableheight desks allow for an easy transition from sitting to standing, while fixed-height desks can be used with an extended-height chair or leaning seat for a quick rest. Go ahead, read it again, yes we did say chair. Why? Because standing all day is uncomfortable and also takes a toll on the body. At Safco Active we recommend a blend of sitting, standing and leaning/perching for a full day of workplace productivity. Ergonomists agree, saying it is important to strike a balance between sitting, standing and movement throughout the day. FOR EVERY 30 MINUTE PERIOD, ERGONOMISTS RECOMMEND: 20 MINUTES OF SITTING/LEANING/PERCHING 2 MINUTES OF MOVEMENT 8 MINUTES OF STANDING STANDING MATH (You need to burn about 3,000 calories to lose a pound of fat) Heart Rate = on average 10 beats per minute higher Equals a difference of.7 of a calorie per minute 50 That s up to about 50 calories/hour If you stand for 3 hours a day for 5 days, it s around 750 calories Over the course of a year, that adds to about 30,000 extra calories = potentially 10 lbs. a year!* *Results may vary and dependent on multiple factors

10 ACTIVE SEATING SITTING PRETTY We know, active sitting kind of sounds like an oxymoron, but we assure you it s not. Normal task and guest seating provide little to no movement possibilities while seated (360 spin anyone?). Our Safco Active line of active seats allow you to bounce, twist, turn and helps to keep a better posture, all of which help to engage core muscles while you keep sitting pretty. These small movements may not seem like much, but added up over time they can make a large impact. This movement can also help increase productivity by keeping both the body and mind engaged. So not only are these chairs office efficient, but their small movements are creating a healthier way to work.
