Benefits of Gymnastics in the Workplace

All Tasks has hired a specialized professional to encourage the practice of exercise during the working day, and has already seen beneficial results

Gymnastics in the workplace is the practice of physical activity during the working day, performed collectively by employees, right in the office. Its aim, among other factors, is to maintain and improve physical health.

Its purpose is to strengthen and stretch certain muscles that are needed for daily activities, which helps prevent postural problems and injuries that put employees health at risk as well as representing costs to the company.

The exercises don’t take long and are not tiring. The dynamics taught by the instructor can also help improve interpersonal relations and contribute to prevention of and recovery from "occupational diseases," fostering collective well-being.

All Tasks joined in on the activity and has already seen the benefits, especially in motivating its employees. The proposal of interactive activities among employees brings positive and satisfactory results. The goal is to improve relationships among employees, and promote a process of inclusion.

"Gymnastics in the workplace could be thought of as a time for relaxing and lowering stress. Also, we shouldn't forget that all of this raises people's awareness about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle," said Wellington Lopes de Oliveira, a physical education teacher employed by All Tasks. "We encourage positive dialogue that promotes physical activity," the professional trainer added.

For the practice of gymnastics to be effective and productive for the workers and for the organization, it is important to hire a qualified, competent professional.
