T4EU online recreation

Join a wide array of students, professors, researchers and other T4EU university staff members and participate in our online recreational activities! The calendar features a series of simple-to-follow exercises to aid your personal health and well-being.

Modern life often moves at a rapid pace, and many have difficulty finding moments to address their physical and mental health. Short breaks with a bit of exercise are of great benefit in such situations. Even short (30-second) active breaks have positive effects; longer and more active breaks are even more recommended. What can be done to effectively break up sitting?

• Encourage the habit of breaking the sitting-walking habit by thoughtfully placing printers, shelves, landline phones and other office equipment out of our immediate proximity/hand reach
• Hydrate regularly – if you have a small glass, you will need to refill it several times in the kitchen
• Make at least one phone call a day, standing up
• Take 5-10 minutes for a longer active break (walk, stairs, gymnastic exercises…)
• Don’t forget our eyes, which are also strained when we are sitting and studying – we can look around the room or into the distance (even out of the window) – this relaxes the muscles that are constantly strained when we are reading or working at the screen
