Introducing the Stir Kinetic Desk designed by former Apple engineer JP Labrosse which nudges you to stand up after sitting down for a long time. Health experts are unanimous in saying that sedentary people who spend a lot of their time sitting on chairs and couches all day are risking their health by not walking or standing up from time to time to stretch their legs out. That's why the Stir Kinetic Desk is perfect for today's busy world filled with people who are cooped up in their offices every day.

The Stir Kinetic Desk is not your ordinary desk. It is loaded with amazing features. It has a colour touch screen built into it which you can use to adjust the desk to your height when you are standing as well as when you are sitting on a chair. Just tap the screen to make the desk move. It also has the Whisperbreath feature that moves the desk gently in an up and down motion to nudge you into changing positions or to stand up after sitting down for a long time. If you stand up after the desk nudges you, then it will automatically rise to your standing height.

What's more is that the Stir Kinetic Desk has a hidden heat sensor that can actually sense when you arrive and once it does, it tracks your standing time as well as the extra calories you burned.

Because this state-of-the-art desk was designed by the brilliant Apple engineer JP Labrosse, who also founded the company Stir, it is sleek, intelligent and intuitive like Apple products, particularly the iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch. It is equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, power and USB connections. And, it can be programmed to nudge you at your preferred times of taking breaks and standing up from your desk.

"One day, it'll also connect fitness bands such as the Fitbit to help the table figure out when you should be sitting and standing. For instance, the FitBit could tell the desk that you've had a tough workout already that morning and let you sit a bit more than usual," said Stir CEO JP Labrosse in a Brisbane Times report.

The Stir Kinetic Desk designed by former Apple engineer JP Labrosse which nudges you to stand up after sitting down for a long time is available for $US3890 ($4325). It can be ordered now and it will be shipped starting in February 2014. Click HERE to find out more about it.
