Description
Did you know that people who do office work sit at a computer for up to 9 hours a day, which comes out to 85 days a year?
People who work from home stay in the same room most of the day. If they do not introduce regular exercises and walks into our daily routine, they end up with even less activity than when working in the office.
No wonder, then, that 80% of us suffer from back pain. The human body needs natural movement, not long periods of sitting in a chair or on a couch. Sitting is the least desirable position because the body loses its flexibility and strength.
Sedentary work and lack of exercise can further contribute to the following problems:
poor postures, such as kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis
prolapse of the discs in the neck and the lumbar spine
carpal tunnel syndrome
degeneration and pain in the hip joints
pelvic floor dysfunction
osteoporosis
eye fatigue and dryness
incorrect functioning of organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, or lungs
migraines
formation of varicose veins
slowing down the metabolism
risk of cardiovascular disease
type 2 diabetes and obesity
anxiety and depression
You can prevent these problems if you learn to rejuvenate your body and use it properly, both when working in the office and from home. It is necessary to alternate between work and regular 5-minute breaks, ideally every 30 – 45 minutes.
Get up, stretch, walk, or do a 5-minute exercise specifically tailored to the office or home environment. You will feel better and begin to prevent future problems.
I developed this course using the latest scientific findings and innovative techniques.
This online course has three parts.
1) Workspace ergonomics
The first part of the course deals with setting up your workspace to build the correct foundations for overall health and relief from back pain.
2) Proper Body Posture
Here we will focus on the proper posture while sitting and working on a computer.
3) Five-minute workouts
In the last part of the course, you will find five-minute lessons focused on exercising various body parts that tend to be problematic when sitting at a computer. These include shoulders, spine, hip joints, or carpal tunnels.
You should exercise for at least 5 minutes twice a day, ideally in the morning and the afternoon. You will feel better and rejuvenated, have more energy, and be ready to do your best at your desk.
The Volkswagen concern Škoda Auto in Europe uses this course to keep their employees healthy and productive while working from home or at the office.
