Active Pause

Move it - active throughout everyday office life

Continuous sitting is now considered a risk factor in its own right. This means that people who sit a lot can fall ill even if they are otherwise active in their free time. That's because our bodies simply aren't made for permanently shutting down our cardiovascular system and metabolism for many hours at a time and permanently putting one-sided strain on our backs when we sit. How to counteract these problems with simple means is the focus of this short active break. You will get an overview of how you can activate your body with regular movement impulses and thus create an effective contrast to the harmful effects of permanent sitting. With simple exercises for muscle activation, loosening, mobilization and relief, you can configure individual micro-breaks and movement islands - according to your possibilities and your needs - that will help you get through the day healthy and mobile, and even increase your productivity in the process.
