Desk Exercises updated Tue Sep 1 2009 4:53 pm CDT

So many of us work at a desk for long hours. This is so unnatural to the human body. We're meant to move. Sitting at a desk can cause a great deal of physical stress on the body.

Desk related injuries (the term even sounds funny to me) are on the rise. Problems associated with desk jobs account for the highest number of workers comp claims and the highest workers comp expenses for companies.

Workers can be healthier and companies can save a great deal of money due to reduced health costs, workers comp claims, and lost sick days by instituting desk exercises.

Workers who do use desk exercises have been shown to be far more productive. Keeping the blood flowing helps the brain work. As Zig Zigler once said, "five minutes of exercise will gain you 15 more minutes of productivity".

Many people and companies are realizing the benefits of desk exercise. smart companies are using Break Pal -Fitness at your Desk.
