Designed to encourage more movement at work, The Level is like surfing at your desk. Moving away from standing desks, the patent-pending deck platform helps working adults avoid the harmful health effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Currently seeking financing on crowdfunding site Indiegogo, the invention adds more wave-like motion to your everyday routine.
The Level is a particularly relevant product since 86% of the American workforce sit for more than seven hours daily. Created by FLUIDSTANCE CEO Joel Heath, the invention raises your heart rate compared to what it would be sitting down. Providing a movement similar to walking, The Level moves your body in three dimensions. Three versions of The Level exist: The Pacific, The American-Made and The Original. All add more movement at work.
