Take a Moment to Move
Sitting is really bad for us. It’s linked to a huge range of chronic health conditions, aches and pains- and if you have a desk-based job, you could be spending 12 hours a day sitting down.
But, you can minimise the risk of harm by simply moving more; easy, quick, unobtrusive, but regular movements during your working day.
Just 11 minutes
It just takes 11 minutes – 660 seconds. That’s it.
We’ll help you keep track. Each move is measured in seconds – the average move being 30- 40 seconds.
Or if you missed a few, you can follow longer routines of Moves to catch-up.
When you complete a move, click the button so we can help you keep track.
Taking a moment to move feels great!
Try one now:
1. Interlock your fingers together in front of you
2. Turn your hands so your palms are pointing away from you and take a deep breath in
4. Slowly exhale, and as you do, push your hands away from your body as far as you can so your arms are straight and hold for five seconds
You’ll feel the stretch across your back and shoulders. It feels great, doesn’t it?
And that’s the core idea of Moments2Move – we’ll just nudge users to do a similar exercise every 30 minutes.
You choose the Moves
You can use Moments 2 Move for free. It’s sits in a browser window and nudges you with an alert and a suggested exercise or ‘Move’ as we call them every 30 minutes.
