The average American man works 44 hours per week, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you’re spending that much time in an office environment, it makes sense to adjust the environment around you to complement all those countless hours you also log working out in the gym.

After that, jump online and order one, two, or all these office essentials, all designed to help you create the healthiest workspace possible.
