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
