Maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the on-the-go office workers has always been tough. The Sit-to-Walkstation from Steelcase is a 2-in-1 workstation that allows users to walk, stand or sit while on the job.
Since exercise helps increase productivity, the Sit-to-Walkstation seems to be the way to go for office decor. This workstation comes with a built-in electrical height adjuster and display to show how many calories were burned on the job.
