Today more and more jobs are online or computer-based, which means we find ourselves stuck in a chair in the same damn position all day long. I’m sure I am not the only one who has to get up and take movement breaks. Interjecting some “wiggle” time into your workday will actually keep your energy levels more stable, especially during that common afternoon blood sugar dip. Plus, stretching and getting blood to all your muscles will have you walking out of the office without stiffness and body aches.
So how do we make sure we get that much needed movement break? Well, now we can get all the reminders we need with FLOW Software. FLOW comes with 7 different 5-minute movement videos that you can schedule to pop up on your desktop at varying intervals. Along with the videos, quotes and reminders inspire you to stay on track with your dietary and fitness goals.
The Wave Corporation created FLOW software specifically for people who work on computers and thus have to deal with the repercussions of sitting for long periods of time, like poor posture and compression of the spine and joints.
Every pre-set interval, a small window pops into your screen inviting you to sit-exercise. You can engage in as many 5-minute exercise sessions as you wish, while sitting at your desk. All exercises are designed to be performed in a sitting position and cover all big muscle groups including chest, abdominals, biceps/triceps, shoulders, back, legs, and full body stretching. Just think, if you were to schedule the videos every 5 minutes you could get in 30-45 minutes of extra movement in, all while at work!
For only $30 bucks you could change your workday for good! For more info check out their site here. It would sure be a great gift or stocking stuffer!
