 "Apple Campus’ new secret revealed: All employees get a mandatory standing desk")
All **Apple** employees, please stand up! In a recent interview at the David Rubenstein show, Apple CEO **Tim Cook** spilled a little company secret. [caption id=“attachment_3945145” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Apple CEO, Tim Cook. Reuters.[/caption] Cook revealed a stand-and-work culture at the company. “We have given all of our employees, 100 percent standing desks. If you can stand for a while, then sit, and so on and so forth, it’s much better for your lifestyle,” Cook said. These was revealed after Cook previously cited doctors who say that “ sitting is the new cancer.” Apple’s devices have always focussed on health, with the HealthKit on iOS even letting third-party apps to tap into your health data. Apple Watch is another avenue which has features such as Breathe and the Stand-up reminders among many other things to help you monitor your fitness levels. It has also partnered with Nike for a deeper integration into the Nike+ fitness app. Apple was also among the first to include sleep analysis, health records and fitness trackers into its devices. “We have a lot of people using the Apple Watch at Apple, and ten minutes before the hour, suddenly they all get up and move. It took a little to get used to, but it’s great,” he said at a Goldman Sachs conference in 2015. Interestingly, back home, prime minister **Narendra Modi** has taken the mantle to stress upon the importance of staying fit with his ongoing #FitnessChallenge! The prime minister recently started the #fitnesschallenge by showcasing his daily routine where he does Yoga. A month ago Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore had begun the #HumFitTohIndiaFit challenge on Twitter where he tweeted a video of himself doing push-ups and tagged celebrities to perform certain fitness tasks. This eventually led to a cascading effect where everyone tweeted their fitness routines. Modi’s current #fitnesschallenge has also seen some chatter on Twitter. We wonder how many Indian companies have a standing desk policy which is mandated for its employees.
