Seriously\u2014too much sitting, too little exercise is a recipe for obesity, diabetes, cancer and just generally death. One increasing popular solution is to use a standing desk, which sits at a great height to make you ditch the chair and burn a few extra calories. There are very basic models which sit on top of your normal desks, to custom-built monstrosities that raise and lower at the touch of a button. This week, a new desk called the Altwork Station was announced that takes it one step further, with a single workstation that&#8217;s suitable for sitting, standing and even lying down.<\/p>\n<p>The Altwork Station&#8217;s design is fairly straight-forward, with a\u00a0chair, desk and monitor \/ laptop stand all strapped to a wide base. Servos integrated into the unit allow the desk to be raised and lowered for standing or sitting, but things get really crazy when the chair leans back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/extreme-focus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/extreme-focus.jpg\" alt=\"extreme-focus\" width=\"650\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/extreme-focus.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/extreme-focus-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/extreme-focus-450x406.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your keyboard and mouse are magnetically attached to the desk and move with you as you change positions, so you can lean all the way back to a fully reclined position and still have your monitors and peripherals at the same orientation as before.\u00a0In this way, you can swap between the three different modes depending on what&#8217;s comfortable or convenient at the time, which hopefully will improve your posture, save your back and stave off your inevitable demise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram.jpg\" alt=\"aram\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/aram-730x410.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Altwork is selling the desks for $5900 in the US, with early adopters paying $3900 for a standard edition or $4900 for a signature edition model.
