The Story of Desks4u
Hi, Welcome to the discovery page of Desks4u.
I’m Ryan founder of Desks4u, The question I ask myself is how did I come across Sitting and Standing Desks?
When Covid struck and the world went into lockdown I discovered my productivity went down I had a routine like any other, plans arranged my days were organized and I noticed I was beginning to put on weight. All from the prospect of leisure services like gyms closing and over time besides weighing more I started getting pains and aches from the lack of exercise. From there on I knew changes needed to be made from sitting around all day playing on the console as generally gaming became my life in lockdown. I started to go out on runs around my area in the allocated times that were permitted and from putting on a stone weighing 14st, I decided to purchase a smartwatch to keep track of my progress daily. In a period of a month I managed to lose 1st and 3lbs.
After adjusting to my new smartwatch there was a feature I was fascinated by, which would monitor my position and the rest of my activity throughout the day. I could be working or lounging and I’d get notified from sitting for too long measuring my current position that through sensors angular velocity gyroscopes and of acceleration through an accelerometer sensors built within the watch.
Even though I lost calories discovering that feature opened up my eyes my next goal was how and to reduce these anonymous aches and pains that I still suffered. Over time, I noticed it was caused from my activity from constantly getting notified from my activity app. I researched ways how I could improve my back posture and make seated positions when working, gaming or lounging more dynamic for long periods of time. I then discovered electric sitting and standing adjustable desks.
