As our jobs have moved from physical to sedentary, the notion of ‘breaks’ has changed.
Where once breaks were a rest away from physical labour, more recently the concept of ‘micro-breaks’ has been introduced. Micro-breaks are short (1-5 minute) breaks that contain an element of movement. They’re also sometimes referred to as an ‘exercise snack’.
There’s a strong (and growing) body of evidence, both scientific and anecdotal that micro-breaks are an effective addition to your day, from both a physical and mental energy standpoint.
Why move more when you’re supposed to be having a break?
Studies suggest that taking short, intentional breaks throughout the day can significantly enhance productivity, concentration, and overall well-being.
One particular example comes from a 2021 study titled Effects of active microbreaks on the physical and mental well-being of office workers: A systematic review.
The researchers concluded…
Active microbreaks seems to lead to improvement in the physical, mental, and metabolic functions of the human body without posing detrimental effects to employee’s productivity.
Active microbreaks may have the potential to decrease musculoskeletal discomfort, improve cardiometabolic markers, and help provide relief from fatigue and stress experienced throughout the workday.
When you combine the concept of micro-breaks and innovative tools like Blink.Pro, you enhance the effects of the break.
UNDERSTANDING MICRO-BREAKS
Unlike longer breaks, which may involve stepping away from work for extended periods, micro-breaks are short enough to seamlessly integrate into anyone’s day, regardless of how busy they are.
The beauty of micro-breaks lies in their ability to provide quick relief from mental fatigue and stress, allowing individuals to recharge and refocus. You don’t need to travel far, get changed or do anything out of the ordinary to benefit.
