Every day of the year, the average person takes over 10,000 steps and stands for many hours.
Sound tough?
Feet are among the most complex and sturdy structures in the body, containing 25% of all the bones in the skeletal system. They are both flexible and strong, bearing the brunt of 5-60 tons of weight daily. Although our bodies are built to handle constant activity, the steps and standing have a way of catching up with us - aches, pain and suffering that can't be contained by the toughest of the tough. The foot bone's connected to the shin bone, the shin bone's connected to the knee bone, the knee bone's connected to the thigh bone, etc., etc. The stress starts from the feet and works its way up.
There is nothing worse than trying to focus on your job while your knees hurt or your back aches.
Too many hours on our feet can often lead to a condition called "static standing." Static standing is a result of our blood working too hard to keep circulating through our bodies in an upright position, causing other areas of our body to tire quickly and become uncomfortable. This condition can lead to several medical problems such as arthritis, joint sprains, muscle strains and foot disorders.
HERE'S THE SOLUTION . . .
Tough Guy® International has designed "ABOVE GROUND™", a series of anti-fatigue mats, proven to help prevent "static standing" and make long work days on our feet a lot more enjoyable.
As the legs adjust to the flexibility and the feet mold to the spring-like surface of the mats, the leg muscles experience gradual contractions. These contractions welcome healthy blood flow to the feet and throughout the body. The subtle movements prohibit the blood from sitting for extended periods of time, preventing static standing from occuring.
