I am so busy I am not sure I would have the time to take a FootGaming break.
The People Who Need It Most Will Get The Most Out Of It
Critics sometimes squeal that short breaks don't raise the heart rate enough to help folks who are already in good shape lose weight or increase their fitness. That may be true. But they'll be refreshed and have fun, and it's the best way to get to others who are true couch potatoes. Many studies show that even a little exercise in the afternoon increases the likelihood that people will take the extra initiative and get more exercise in the evening or on the weekend.
When you are very busy that's exactly when the vending machine calls, healthy choices are more difficult to make and you may not have the time to plan and prepare the meals that would be best for you. It's a time when you actually need to take a 10 minute break every few hours. The surprise is - by taking the FootGaming move/play/blance break you will return to work ready to focus and be more productive. The 10 minutes you "lost" will be returned many times over.
What's Good For The Worker Is Good For The Company
Retailer L.L. Bean instituted daily, mini-exercise breaks 15 years ago throughout its assembly plant with great results. The breaks were five minutes each, three times a day. At the end of the shift, the company found a 30-minute return on productivity for an investment of 15 minutes of physical activity. "The number of bags and shoes that they do not produce in those 15 minutes used for the active-game break they actually get back and then some."
