Avoid the desk job body. Stay in shape right at your desk. Break Pal teaches a new soft style exercise every 30 minutes to keep you in shape, healthy. Moves that will focus on a certain muscle group and get your heart rate up. Once you learn the move through the simple video instruction, you then will move on to the next screen where you will do the move at a faster pace until you feel you've raised your heart rate and sustained it to your goal.
This whole process is anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending upon desired results. A timer will track your progress and you can build up to longer durations.
By getting up from your desk and getting a few minutes of exercise, you'll feel better and increase your metabolism. You'll also greatly reduce the strain that sitting at a desk for long periods puts on your body.
This will also boost productivity. Exercise always does. You'll get more done in a day by taking a few minutes out every half hour.
It's also a well known fact that exercise is cumulative. Exercising for three minutes every thirty minutes for an eight hour work day will give you the same results as doing a forty five minute aerobics class, with no driving to the gym.
The full version has Twenty seven lessons which will work every part of your body. It's really the easiest way I know of to get in shape.
Stay stress free and productive by keeping this program running in the background. Helps prevent Repetitive strain injuries and all other problems associated with sitting at a computer too long

Single player, text-based gladiatorial management simulation that puts the fantasy into fantasy sporting. Manage three gladiators, created from a random combination of five basic stats for hundreds of thousands of possible fighter combinations. Train your fighters as you see fit. You can do focus training for specific stats, and if they're not living up to your expectations even auction them off and pick up new talent at the end of a season, including adding free agents to your stable. If a physical training regiment is not to your liking you can always purchase enchantments to help your warriors in the Arena, or enhancement potions. Watch out though, as these potions can have long term negative effects on your fighters. Play an unlimited number of seasons. Each season consists of ten fighters duking it out for total Coliseum supremacy. At the end of the season the four best fighters advance into the ultimate championship to decide who is the land's true Champion!
Time plays an important part. A realistic aging system governs the game. Fighters will grow old, with all the effects that aging has on a body. The lucky ones will get to retire in fame, and the truly blessed will enter into the Hall of Fame. New fighters are entering the league all the time. It's up to you to guide them. An intense text orientated realistic combat system, with blows described in gruesome detail thanks to the thousands upon thousands of possible descriptions, bring the battles to life. Over two hundred possible injuries, including recurring nagging injuries, are present, along with almost three hundred unique disorders/diseases. Thanks to the hundreds of thousands fighter combinations, uniquely generated news stories, injuries and diseases, potion and spell effects, and blow by blow combat system no two games will ever play out the same. Infinite battles await the gamer!

OOS, RSI, CTS... - These acronyms all hurt you, and can kill your career in these wired times.
Repetitive strain injury, Occupational overuse syndrome, and Carpal tunnel syndrome are all faces of the same malaise. In layman's terms, if you use something too much, you'll damage it.
For those on the coal face of the IT industry, it's endemic, and can mean losing a career when typing becomes too painful to sustain...
What can you do?
A good typing technique makes a huge difference. Touch typing is recommended, and you should use two hands to use a shift or control key combo. I switched to the Dvorak keyboard a while back, both to reduce finger movement, and force myself to touch type.
It is a big help to take frequent 'microbreaks' every 5-15 minutes from what you are doing, move around, stretch, and give blood a chance to flow around the place. You should move your arms away from the keyboard and mouse, focus your eyes to some distant point, and relax.
I wrote this program because I always get too involved in what I am working on to remember to take regular breaks (hours can pass before I remember that I should eat, or go to the toilet...). However, I found every reminder program I tried to be too frustrating and/or intrusive to use for long.
What does the program do?
Every 10 minutes (or whatever you set it to) the program will play a sound to remind you to have a stretch. I use a large archive of sound bites from movies and TV (www.tidalwavs.com is good) - the program picks one at random as the reminder each time to keep it interesting.
The important thing is that this is not intrusive, it does not slow me down, and it works. I resent those programs that measure how much you have moved your mouse, or used your keyboard. All that expends resources that my PC and I could better use elsewhere. SoundBreak just sleeps until it is needed.
