Standing up at work has been found to significantly impact the amount of energy the body burns. We burn almost twice as much energy when standing up as when sitting down at work. If you have a sit-stand desk at work, you can gain a lot from standing up for most of the working day. A Mousetrapper Active mat stops your feet getting tired, allowing you to stand for longer periods. Having an Active mat handy at work allows you to work standing up for long periods without getting tired. The Active is soft and allows you to wear your ordinary shoes while keeping your feet in an ergonomic position.
