The importance of exercise in the office: for a healthier working environment

In today’s working world, many of us spend the majority of the day sitting down, often in front of a computer. However, this prolonged static posture can cause significant health problems, from neck and back pain to long-term chronic conditions. It is therefore crucial to integrate movement into the office routine to minimize the negative effects of sitting and promote health and well-being.

Why movement in the office is so important

GIRSBERGER OFFICE PRODUKTE bei www.bruno-wickart.ch kaufen The human body is made for movement. Long periods of sitting lead to a stagnation of metabolic activity, which in turn weakens the muscles and slows down blood circulation. This can not only cause physical discomfort, but also impair concentration and productivity. Studies have shown that exercise in the workplace not only improves physical health, but also increases mental performance Regular exercise activates the muscles, relieves pressure on the spine and promotes blood circulation, which in turn improves the supply of nutrients to the intervertebral discs. The concept of „healthy sitting“ is therefore not only based on ergonomic chairs, but also on the integration of movement into everyday working life. Dynamic sitting, i.e. regularly changing sitting positions, and simple movement exercises at the workplace are key elements of this concept

Simple exercises for everyday office life

GIRSBERGER OFFICE PRODUKTE bei www.bruno-wickart.ch kaufen You don’t need intensive training sessions to reap the benefits of exercise in the office. Even small exercises that can be easily integrated into your daily work routine can make a big difference. Here are some simple movement exercises that you can do right at your desk:
  1. Stretch backwards: lean backwards in constant contact with the backrest and stretch your arms upwards as far as possible. Remain in this position for two to three breaths
  2. Circle your shoulders: Straighten your spine and pull your shoulders up. Then move them backwards, down as far as possible, then forwards and back up again. You can also do this exercise while standing
  3. Head movements: Turn your head to the right, move it back to the center and bend it forward. Then turn your head to the left. This movement helps to relax the neck muscles and relieve tension
  4. Stretch your chest: Bend your head and upper back forward, pull your shoulders forward and turn your thumbs inwards. Then straighten the spine, stretch the sternum forwards and upwards, take the shoulders backwards and turn the thumbs outwards
These and similar exercises can be performed regularly to relieve the muscles and prevent tension. It is important that you do these exercises not just occasionally, but as a regular part of your daily routine.
