The newest trend in home offices and modern workspaces is the standing desk. The benefits of a standing desk include better posture, it may reduce back pain, and you can lose 50 calories per hour more than sitting.
However, standing in front of a standing desk all day can be tough on your legs and joints. Look no further than the Wurf Board. The Wurf Board is an inflatable standing mat that eases the pressure on your joints while standing.
Let’s Go Wurfing At a Standing Desk!
The Wurf Board has a 2″ high curved edge with an anti-slip design so you can massage your feet. It stimulates micro-movements which promote muscle contractions, improve blood and enhances productivity.
The Wurf Board is actually an FDA approved Class 1 medical device to relieve pain in the knees, feet, and back.
So, what exactly do you do with a Wurf Board? Well, the most obvious is using the Wurf Board to stand while working on a computer at your standing desk. However, you can also use the Wurf Board while standing at the sink doing dishes or while watching TV!
The inflatable board has curved edges to keep you moving throughout the day. The Wurf Board has two metal rings on either side to attach exercise bands to so you can do some strengthening exercises as well.
