All Office people know that: the working day is spent mostly sitting in front of the PC, the lunch break fails quite or joins with a Loveless lubricated sandwich at work. Movement takes place, if at all, only while walking to coffee machine or toilet. And after work is quite a different pleasure as a sport and fitness. The manufacturer of OfficeGYM promises those who spend the whole day sitting and crave at work of a sporty balance, remedy. For about 150 euros to all parts of the body with two minutes training per hour trains and prevented errors that cause sedentary activities. We have taken the multifunctional training tool and its actual benefits in the workplace more closely scrutinized.
The concept
The manufacturer of OfficeGYM has developed a training system for the workplace that enables three-dimensional exercises and is based on the principle of rotation. Therefore the workout can also vertically, with the OfficeGYM in contrast to purely linear movements sideways and forward at the same time take place. The training tool is intended for workers who spend most of the day sitting in front of the desk and it should prevent resulting health problems such as back or neck pain.
At the beginning: Belts-frustration instead of training-lust
The device in the handy cardboard box is provided. After unpacking, you can see himself helplessly exposed a mountain of belts, bars and strips once. Despite a detailed user's Guide, the fastening of the belt system is not without, using nice colleagues but after some time to accomplish. When the belts are once attached to the backrest (fixing at the Office Chair, as well as on a normal Chair possible), sits the unit stable and also disturb not the normal workflow.
Sport at work tutorial
When the elastic "power bands", you can select "soft", "medium" and "strong" as an ambitious Office sports between difficulty levels. The differences in the strengths are clearly noticeable, which is why the device both beneficial and advanced is suitable. The aluminium handle tubes where the power bands are attached, can be set in two positions. Such exercises can be performed with movements from below (for example, for biceps and triceps) and top (for shoulder, back and stomach). The supplied instruction booklet describes the exercises and the training effects in very detail, the illustration will help correctly perform the movements.
Colleagues amusement vs. meaningful warm-up
Trouble getting through Khaled his usual warm-up but then when it comes. Always drill from former teachers and fitness instructors, one feels the muscles so sufficiently for the upcoming sporting burden to prepare, exposed a problem - if one wants to entertain not his colleagues in the office cubicle with warm-up exercises � la marionette or enjoy even the luxury of a single Office. The 10 exercises even in the smallest space well at work who has overcome this obstacle but once, can perform. Although use of OfficeGYM in the unfamiliar atmosphere costs of open-plan offices overcome - the exercises can be but clean and the unit will remain stable at the back also at greater turn the handles.
Corrosion protection Yes, effective muscle building no
To not entirely on his Office Chair to rust up, the OfficeGYM is a good device for small fitness breaks in the Office, at least not entirely idle counter so possible postural and tension. The training at the OfficeGYM fun, and perform the exercises properly feels. Contrary to the expectations one has on a training tool on the Office Chair, you never get the feeling to position more by unergonomoische movements as previously or run wrong movements. If you observed the provisions, continues on the hourly training units and also longer than just a day performing the exercises, you also feel that you did something for his body and his muscles. Who in the Office correctly can work out himself and wants the will so come sweat. We recommend the additional regular visit to the gym or the home workout all the others but for real and long-lasting training results.
