For many, March marks one year of working remotely, taking classes online and generally spending a lot more time at home. If you have not yet upgraded your work-from-home setup, perhaps it’s time to invest in a standing desk or a laptop stand. After a snowy winter, warmer temperatures are on the horizon, too, causing some to turn to long-neglected running shoes. Many people are also continuing to procure fitness equipment to make at-home exercise more enjoyable, from barbells to yoga mats.
