Of course, we are not your doctor and this is not medical advice but…It’s safe to say we all want to lead happy, healthy, productive lives.  With roughly 1/3 of our week spent at work, it’s of utmost importance that we take care of our bodies during this time. 

Especially for those with office jobs, who spend much of this time sitting at a desk, working on a computer, or siting in meetings, taking frequent ERGO BREAKS is necessary to increase circulation, relieve muscle and joint stiffness, facilitate deeper breathing, increase alertness, and reduce levels of stress and fatigue.

Taking these breaks has been proven to boost productivity, feelings of well-being, and job satisfaction.  It is recommended that we take short breaks at least every hour!

Here are some ERGO BREAK options:

• Do a few push-ups or squats:  Watch for correct form and keep breathing!
• Stand up instead of sitting:  Having an adjustable-height workstation or desk is very helpful!  Try standing during your next meeting and enjoy more efficiency.
• Light stretching: “Touch your toes, reach for the stars!”
• Plank challenge!  Start with 30 seconds and work up from there.
• Go for a short walk.
• Dance a jig!
• Walk to another colleague’s office vs. calling or emailing them.

Start taking ERGO BREAKS to make your work-day easier to handle.  Let us know how we can help you Get YOUR Ergonomic On! ™ with any of our standard or made-to-order products.
