Video: 5 Minute Exercise Program
Created by professor Lars L. Andersen
Keeping physically active at the office or when working from home can be difficult.
Here we show you some simple exercises to do as an active break during your workday.
Purpose: The exercises can help to prevent and relieve discomfort in the muscles and joints in relation to seated work, and will also give you a boost of energy afterwards. The exercises train your shoulders, neck, back and legs.
Instructions: Each video is a 5-min full program that you can simply follow. Each video shows three rounds of three different exercises in a circle-training fashion. Prior to each exercise, there is a short demonstration from the front and side, and then the exercise begins.
Equipment: None
