Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp physical therapist, Brad Heineck physical therapist
Together we are the two most famous physical therapists on the internet in our opinion of course Bob
The number one way to stop the harm of sitting all day
I think we got the solution here Brad, right sitting is the new smoking and
We educate people on what's going on. So at the end of the video or towards the end of video
We're actually gonna go over why
Some of the studies and what they've shown, what prolonged sitting can do to you, but first
We're gonna do a review of this product. But before we even do that, we've got another thing for you
Yeah, we're gonna invite you in to subscribe to us. Wow. That's a biggie

Amazing, isn't it? So Brad we have a fantastic desk here. This is my Flexispot desk and this is an electric
Standing desk, now we've showed some of the ones that are manual
Yep up and down
but this is the
I don't know if people still say this but this is the Cadillac, the deluxe model, and the frame is
Called the EB4. EB4? Yeah, that's like bingo, isn't it?
B4
Then we got the B2 top, that's bingo too, there you go, did you win last weekend?
Did I play last weekend? I was wondering. Hey let's get on with the program
So it comes in two large boxes and we got Alex to put it together for us because we're lazy
And Alex said it took him about an hour. So the average person would probably take about a half hour. Yep
Sorry Alex we like to make jokes about you when you can't respond so, it's heavy duty
So it would really almost be a
Two-person job to move it, two-person job to put it together too probably
Better with two Alex says
You actually can pay Amazon to have them put this together. Oh, really? Yeah, it's 105 bucks. They come out to your house
I don't know what they do
I don't know if they put it together and said I don't know what they do. Maybe a drone comes on. Yeah
Let's get on with the program. All right, so the the cost of this desk it's pricey, but it's a heavy-duty one, right
It's $560 with the top
Without the top, with the frame only it's $409. Does that include the cord?
Yeah, that includes the cord Brad and it includes a working mechanism. It is complete. You'll see it works really nice
Yeah, so you can actally Brad you can take and again the frame is only $409
You could put your own desk on top of here. Okay I see
And I mean you can go to Ikea and get a cheaper one.
Sure I see what you you're saying. The ones they have are black which we think is a rocking color here
Isn't it, I mean this is this looks sharp with the black on the black. Oh, yeah, so and they also have mahogany and maple
I would want the mahogany I bet you would, anyways, you're never satisfied
So the frame actually comes in gray or black. Okay, so I bet you want gray cuz we have black here
No, I don't care about that part. Alright, so this thing is sturdy. It can hold
250 pounds and you know, we're gonna have to prove this. Yeah
We are going to have to, I'm so impressed with this. I mean you could use it for not only a computer workstation
But if you like to work on, you know, tinker around with tools and whatnot
You're not gonna put a lawn mower on here. But if you're gonna--a lighter work bench, modeling especially
Boy, you know you need to go up and down? What's modeling? You're putting together models. Oh like airplanes
Okay, let's show how hefty it is right now. So what are you doing on your weekends Bob?
You're not into modelling are you Bob? No
Well Bob, this is it I guess I get to model. Yeah, but look at this
You're supposed to be rowing. It goes up. I'm getting to it bob. We're just I wanted--we're 200
I'm not 200 pounds
But about a 180 and it's pushing on me right up without
Even grunting so you see it went from the lowest setting which is 23.6
It was actually a little bit off it was like 24 I think
And it went up to the highest setting which is 49.2 it says on here and
This you know is obviously very high because I'm 6 foot 6 and I would not need it this high
So yeah, I think this is gonna fit a 7-footer, sure how many 7-footers are out there?
Not quite so many, not too many, but ok
So now we're gonna show the buttons here as soon as we get Brad down, which hopefully we can get him down
It'll be fine. I could change a light bulb from here as a matter of fact, it's got all sorts of uses, so you see this is a solid table
you know if you got like your double computer on here and
Your books and everything you're gonna easily be able to handle weight here and it has three sides
You can preset it to, is that what you're gonna talk about Bob? So let's show the buttons right here, Brandon. All right, what we did is
These are the buttons on the front again. This is by Flexispot
So there's an up and down buttons so you can just manually, you know, take it up and take it down
Yeah, like an infinite amount of numbers just about, right
So and then you can also hit we don't know if this is memory or mode
But it's an M, so you can hit M and then hit 1 and it'll set at that height then
Right so if you want it at your seated position perhaps when you have a chair, right
Okay, exactly. The other point I want to make about this Brad while we're talking about it
By the way, is that this is fairly quiet wouldn't you say, oh right
It's not gonna disrupt anyone. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna disrupt anybody in the office
So that works well with that the other thing which is really cool
it has the A for alarm so you can push the alarm button and
I guess we're gonna stop right here. We got the alarm and we got it set for three minutes right now
So it's gonna go off in three minutes. Okay, and what's that gonna say?
It's just gonna give you a reminder
that now it's time for you to get up and move
Or maybe it's time for you to stand or maybe it's time for you to sit. Whatever you want to use it for, sure
I think that's invaluable because I don't know about you Brad
But when I get working once I forget to move
I forget to sit down. I forget to stand. So, you know, this is just I think
a fantastic part of the this equation here
Right especially as therapists we're thinking, you know, if you're stationary for too long particularly in the seated position
We want you up and changed position and it may even be time for you, you know
If you need to go for a short walk or you know gives you a reminder you can walk to the
Copy machine or whatever it may be, to the water fountain or the bathroom
But I think you know the point they always recommend is that they want you to stand for 20 minutes
Sit for 8 and then move for 2, right
so every half-hour that's kind of the break down that they want you to do right and that's gonna help and we're gonna get into that
A little bit later all the negative effects from sitting. It's gonna help get you through the day
You're gonna be more productive too because your circulations better. You're more awake. Well, it certainly helped my back pain
I was getting some mid-back pain
And I don't know if it was just that or it was other things
I did also, but about it did go away and it has not come back because I'm in better posture
I'm not floating into that rounded out posture so, I could just feel it right now when this table is up it promotes
I'm thinking about being up and taller without even you know thinking about it
Yeah, again, this is a fairly high setting obviously probably higher than it would be for you
but so again
It's pricey if you use our link below
You do get 5% off. We do get a small fee
if you order from this link and we use that to offset the cost of putting together these wondrous films.
Yeah. Yeah, we call them films not videos. It's not for our yacht? Oh, no, no not
I've got one in the bathtub
Alright so
the other thing well
we were to mention what are the problems with sitting? Go over some of these and this is
The work of a Mayo Clinic doctor and I think it was Dr. Levine wasn't it?
Yep, I think you're right, and I mean the number one thing is he talked about I mean, it does decrease back pain
I think your legs get a little more toned. You lose a little weight
You're burning more calories standing than you are sitting and these are some of the problems with prolonged sitting you actually cause
increased blood pressure
increased cholesterol
increased cardiovascular disease, so a lot of bad things
And these are all from studies from Dr. Levine? There's a million of studies on these things
It's really well documented
Increased amount of diabetes, incidence of diabetes
increased colon breast and endometrial cancer
From prolonged sitting. I mean, you know when we're talking about sitting, we're not talking about just sitting at home
We're talking about sitting in the car. We're talked about sitting in the office. So I mean that's accumulated all throughout the day
Right, right, and if you really think about it, we are sitting quite a bit nowadays compared to 100 years ago
And I guess the other one it says they have decreased brain function when you sit too much now, we know what happened
I was wondering where my brain was?
If you want to take a look at it, go to Flexispot, we got a link down below and they got some
Less expensive ones too, they got the manual ones which we use, right
We've got a number of videos on those and well, that's what you're using at home right now. So very good
Thanks for watching
