Exercises for in between at the workplace
Many workstations have been restructured in the last few months into home office spaces.
The “new gained” time due to the elimination of travel time is used by many people to do more sports. What at first glance seems to be a blessing for many people, also has a number of disadvantages.
Daily habitual exercise is eliminated, such as walking to the train, cycling to work, climbing stairs to the subway or to the office, or simply walking to the canteen, to the printer, etc.
Making everyday life as active as possible is an important component of our health.
Without exercise, we tire more quickly and our concentration decreases. Of course, little exercise also promotes back pain, obesity, cardiovascular problems, joint or vein problems.
There are many ways to integrate as much movement as possible into everyday life. A large number of exercises can be done without a lot of equipment.
In addition to reduced movement, ergonomic problems often occur. Only few people can work at home at a computer workstation that meets all the requirements for healthy, dynamic sitting.
There are also simple, fast solutions to optimize the height of the chair or to design the chair “in motion”.
Perhaps you can develop small routines that make it easier for you to integrate movement effortlessly into your everyday life.
I show you some moving possibilities for an active and healthy everyday life.
Move every hour for at least 2 minutes!
Back mobilization
Sit on a Powerball and swing your pelvis from right to left, from front to back. Move 8 -10 times in each direction.
You can perform the same movements on a Dynair ball cushion.
Activation of the fuselage stabilizers
Sit upright on the Powerball. Now lift one leg slightly off the ground. Stretch out your arms to the side and make small circular movements with your arms.
Circle 10 – 15 times forward, then backward.
You can do the same exercise on a Dynair ball cushion
Activation of the stabilizers, training of the balance ability
Stand on the Dynair ball pillow either with both, or as an aggravation with one foot. Try to keep the balance for about 20 – 30 seconds
Activation of the vein pumps, the calves
Sit upright, with both feet on the Dynair wedge cushion. Now roll your feet from the tip of your foot to the heel. Kick for about 1 minute.
Mobilization of the thoracic spine
Sit upright on the Dynair wedge cushion. Raise both arms at right angles while inhaling, pushing the sternum diagonally upwards. Now, as you exhale, bring your elbows together in front of your sternum, rounding your back. 10 -15 repetitions.
Activation of the fuselage stabilizers
Sit upright. Hold the Jacaranda ball in both hands in front of the sternum. Now rotate the ball in one direction for 10 – 20 seconds, then in the other direction.
Strengthening of the finger muscles, mobilization of the finger joints
Knead the GAB! ball in one hand. Move each finger individually, then knead with all fingers. Each hand approx. 1 minute.
Mobilization of the shoulder joints, the shoulder girdle
The GAB! Ball from behind the back from above into the other hand downwards. Then change sides. Repeat 8-10 times with each side.
Activation of both brain hemispheres, formation of new synapses between the brain cells, coordination
In one hand, shake a Brasil next to your ear in a rhythm of your own. With the other hand throw and catch a Brasil. Practice the individual movements first, then combine the two movements. Each side for about 30 seconds.
“Not being able to” is allowed 😉
Mobilization of the thoracic spine, neck relaxation
Roll the Brasil right and left alternately back and forth on the thighs. Keep your eyes on the back shoulder.
Strengthening of the back extensor muscles, activation of the trunk stabilizers
Sit upright. Now bend the upper body slightly forward. Stretch your arms forward in extension of your upper body. Make small chopping movements with the brasils above your head. For 20 seconds, pause, then repeat the movement again.

Präha: Why targeted training before surgery is so importantSurgery is always a challenge for the body. Whether it is the knee, hip, shoulder or spine – every procedure means stress for the tissue, a phase of immobilization and then the arduous reconstruction. What many do not know: How well the body regenerates after surgery depends decisively on how well it was prepared beforehand. This is exactly where prehabilitation comes in – the preoperative phase in which targeted training sets the course for a better healing process.Mehr lesen -
Daily Back Exercises: More Strength, Less Tension, Better Body AwarenessA strong back does not happen by chance. It develops through regular, well-dosed movement – and through exercises that target exactly where we often do too little in everyday life: stability, mobility, and conscious body awareness. Back exercises do not have to be complicated or time-consuming. Just a few minutes a day can provide noticeable relief and offer long-term protection.Mehr lesen -
Get Fit for Spring Outings: Stability & Strength for Hiking, Running, and CyclingAs the days get longer and temperatures rise, we are almost automatically drawn outside. The first hiking trails become accessible again, running shoes are ready, and the bicycle is waiting to finally be taken out of its winter rest. But as great as the motivation in spring may be – the body often needs a moment to find its rhythm again. This is exactly where the real preparation for the outdoor season begins: with stability, strength, and mobility.Mehr lesen -
Exercise builds strength: How we can encourage children to be more active through playChildren naturally move in a very instinctive way. They run, jump, climb, balance – and discover the world in the process. But in the everyday life of many families, reality looks different: long periods of sitting at school, homework, digital media, and a tightly scheduled daily routine often cause natural movement to shrink. Yet movement is not only important for physical development, but also for concentration, self-confidence, and emotional stability.Mehr lesen -

Start with a home workout—and make exercise a regular part of your daily routine.Getting started with training does not begin with perfection, but with a simple principle: consistency beats intensity. Especially in everyday life, which is often full, hectic, and unpredictable, movement quickly becomes secondary. Yet this is exactly where the key lies: When movement becomes a natural part of your day, not only your body changes – but your overall well-being as well.Mehr lesen -
Heavy Legs? – How the TOGU Senso Vein Trainer can helpHeavy legs, feelings of tension, or tired calves in the evening – many people are familiar with this unpleasant problem. Those who sit or stand a lot, or who get little exercise, quickly notice that their legs become heavy and swollen. The cause can sometimes be a weakness in venous function: the blood doesn't flow back optimally, it pools in the legs – and this leads to the typical feeling of heaviness.Mehr lesen -
