What to Look For
- Prioritize items that combat sitting: a standing desk, a foam roller, resistance bands, and a yoga mat.
- Short, frequent workouts beat long rare ones — adjustable dumbbells are a remote worker's best friend.
- Invest in one recovery tool (massage gun or foam roller) for post-desk work mobility.
- A meditation app helps manage the always-on stress of working from home.
