Live Healthy in 2024

Make 2024 the year you stick to your plans to become happier and healthier. Every January, millions of people vow to change their diet and exercise habits to live a healthier lifestyle. Most return to their normal habits within a few weeks because the bigger the change, the higher chance of failure. Changes should be made incrementally for success and a good way to start is by making small changes to your work space. Below, we have two scenarios laid out for you of ways you can change your home office, or commercial office, for the better.

Interior Design

Home Office: A new office furniture set may be just the change to refresh your mind and become more organized. Believe it or not, furniture in your home office has a lot of sway on your mood and frame of mind. Different colors provoke different moods. While yellows and oranges promote happy moods, they may not be appropriate for your home decor. Opt for more neutral colored desks that allow you to add plants, paintings and colorful decorative vases and lamps so you have a cheerful, yet tasteful, workspace.

Commercial Office: New office furniture motivates employees in the same way. New furniture breathes life into any office space. Many of the newer office desks incorporate electric lift or adjustable height desk frames, giving your employees the ability to choose to sit or stand and their whim. Newer office desks also have options like charging stations to keep their devices powered and ready.

The Ergonomic Chair Revolution

More than ever, people realize the importance of ergonomic chairs for maintaining good posture and preventing health issues. A new office chair can give you back support to keep you focused and alert.

Home Office: One of the latest trends in home office seating is the Saddle Seat Stool. It works like a ‘part-time’ office stool to start. Basically, it forces the back and shoulders to sit more straight, like sitting on a saddle of a horse. To start, start by sitting on your saddle stool for 30 minutes a day while your body gets used to the dramatic change in sitting. Increase that time each day by 5 minutes and after a few weeks, you can ditch your regular office chair while saying ‘good-bye’ to many of the aches and pains brought on by hunching in a regular office chair.

Commercial Office: Nothing boosts productivity like a brand new office chair. If your employees’ chairs are 5 years old or older, it’s time to replace them. Many of the chairs we sell are made to fit the vast majority of users like our Advanced Ergonomic Black Mesh Back Ultra Office Chair, or our HumanFlex Elastic All Mesh Ergonomic Office Chair. Both models have great ergonomic features like breathable mesh, adjustable lumbar support and adjustable arms. Plus, they look super cool!

Elevate Your Workspace with an Electric Lift Desk

Electric lift desks truly live up to the hype. Switching from standing to sitting throughout the work day has immense benefits to your health and mood!

Home Office: Modern Office has a variety of Solid Wood electric lift desks that look gorgeous in home offices. Choose from a variety of different wood species like Beech and Pine, as well as medium and dark wood stains. Solid wood desks are also better for air quality inside your home office as they emit very minimal amounts of formaldehyde, a chemical found in laminate boards.

Commercial Office: We are constantly coming up with new and innovative electric lift workstations for the office! Take a look at our Electric Lift Benching Workstations, for example. Each worksurface adjusts in height independently. Add PET panels for privacy and sound absorption. Each worksurface comes with its own keypad for individual settings and a grommet for cord management.

Fitness at Your Fingertips - Dumbbell Sets for Office or Home Gyms

Both home and office can benefit from adding an exercise space! Studies show that 150 minutes per week (30 minutes per day Monday through Friday or 21 minutes a day if stretched over 7 days - you can do this!) can make huge changes to your physical and mental health. We have a variety of different fitness equipment to help you build your gym. Whether you are looking for aerobic fitness equipment, or if you prefer weight-lifting, Modern Office has you covered.

Conclusion

Becoming a healthier individual doesn’t necessarily involve dramatic life-altering changes that are bound to fizzle out come February. You can take smaller steps towards a healthier lifestyle by investing in ergonomic furniture and fitness equipment for their home.
