Solving the Problem
Widespread availability of computers and labour-saving devices have seen workplace sitting rise dramatically in recent decades. Obesity related health issues are associated with over four million days lost from Australian workplaces annually, contributing significantly to reduced workplace productivity. Musculoskeletal disorders are linked to prolonged sitting, and are common in the workplace accounting for a significant proportion of workplace sick leave. It also adversely affects employee morale, productivity and wellbeing. Implementing ergonomic measures that enhance the physical and mental health of employees results in benefits far greater than the costs. Studies have shown that breaks at 25-minute intervals have proven to be beneficial at combating this emerging health issue.

Exercises to break your prolonged sitting

Triceps Dips
Leaning on the edge of your office furniture, desk or a fixed bench, with both hands facing forward. Place palms flat on chair, bend your elbows straight back, and lower yourself straight down several inches, keeping your back as close to the chair as possible. Then straighten your arms to rise back to start.
Complete 20 dips.
Arm Pulses
These work your triceps and help stretch out your shoulders. Stand up at your desk with arms by your sides and palms facing behind.
Pulse the arms backward for 20 seconds, keeping arms as long and straight as possible.
Arm Circles
This move gives new meaning to the term “circle back.” Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms extended straight out to sides at shoulder height. Move your arms in a small backward circle.
Do 20 times in this direction, switch directions, and repeat.
Desk Push-Ups
First things first: Make sure your desk is sturdy enough to support your body weight! Then, take a few steps back, so you can place your hands flat on your desk, a little wider than shoulder-width. Lower yourself down toward your desk, keeping your core tight. Then push back up until arms are straight but not locked.
Try to do 20 reps.
Wall Push-Ups
Here’s a modified version of the desk version. Stand a few steps from a wall and lean toward it, placing your hands flat and wider than your shoulders. Lower yourself down toward the wall, keeping your abs tight to maintain a straight line from your head to your toes, then push back up until your arms are straight (but not locked).
Complete 20 reps.
Chair Squats
Try to bust these out between meetings, on a call, any time. All you have to do is stand up from your chair, lower your body back down, stopping right before you sit back down. (Keep your weight in your heels to work those glutes). Then stand back up again.
Repeat 10 times.
Standing Rear Pulses
If you’ve ever taken a barre this class, this move will feel familiar—but your desk is standing in for a barre. Holding the edge of your desk for support, bend one leg behind you, flexing the foot. Raise your heel up a few inches, then release slightly and press your foot directly back behind you. Continue to alternate between lifting your heel up, then pressing it back.
Do 20 to 30 reps, then switch sides.
Pretend Jump Rope
Hop on both feet at once or alternate if you need to modify. You can up the intensity by moving your arms as if you were holding a rope.
Calf Raises
Stand up behind your chair and hold on for support. Raise your heels off the floor until you are standing on your toes. Slowly lower yourself back to the floor.
Do 3 sets of 10.
Wall Sits
Slide your back down a wall until your hips are at the same level as your knees and your knees are together at 90-degree angles. Maintain the position for 30 to 60 seconds, then release.
Aim for 15 reps.
Lunge
With one leg in front of the other, gently lower the knee of your back leg down towards the ground, 10 times on each leg. Do this move at your desk, or go all out and lunge down the hall to the printer and back. Don’t be surprised if your co-workers want to join in.
