It was always too easy to sit for too long in one place. But at least the normal working environment got us up and moving around as we went to meetings, or popped across the room for a quick word.

Now, with more of us working, meeting and chatting from home, we often find ourselves in the same position until our physiological requirements cause us to do otherwise.

To combat this, and to help people maintain their health, BUPA created a simple set of eight desk stretches that take just seconds to do. They are so quick, they do not really distract from your work. More, they help you retain a perspective over it – and yourself.

Also, WheelDecide created a great web-page based tool that provides a random selection from a range of provided options, at a click of a mouse.

Combine these things together and you get: https://meeting.toolchest.org/wfhx/ – A page which, at the click of a mouse, randomly selects a stretch exercise for those working sat at a desk.

I have been using these 15-30 second desk strecthes as part of my longer meetings for some time now. And I have to say that you see people’s spirits visibly rise, people join straight in, move, smile, laugh, and restart the meeting with a real uplift.
