What you’ll learn:
- How to design your day for movement
- How to use the 3 layers of movement
The pandemic has sent much of our workforce home. Competing personal and professional demands on remote workers may lead to concentrated time to get work accomplished. This can translate to slouching over a make-shift desk for hours before taking a break. Long periods of standing is not any better than long periods of sitting. Workers are experiencing higher levels of anxiety so a focus on employee wellbeing is critical. Research shows that different types of movement will lead to healthier, engaged, and high-performing employees.
Design Your Day
Even low intensity physical activity can impact your wellbeing. Many of us have traded in a workplace that required us to move throughout the day for a stationary desk at home. If employees can break each 30-minute segment of their day into the 3 layers of movement, you will increase productivity, reduce absenteeism, and reduce healthcare costs.
“25%-35% of American adults have sedentary jobs, no regular physical activity and limited activity around the house; doubling their risk of numerous health conditions.” – American Psychological Association
