Standing Desk
Standing desks have become the newest thing in software development companies as well as anywhere what requires people to work at their desk for extended periods of time. There is a small desk called StandStand that is three pieces of wood that you can put on your desk so that you can stand up. It weighs less than two pounds and fits into most laptop bags. It started on KickStarter and after earning ten times the money, it is on sale now for $69. Standing desks have shown to be better for your back and overall health. One of the main reasons for back pain is that the muscles are weak and they are not used. With the standing desks, you will be able to strengthen your back as well as build more stamina. Not to mention reduce the risk for many chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Granted, it can probably only fit your lap top but how much room do you usually take up while working at your desk. It also do you some good to bend over.
