Movement for desk-based work

Small movement habits, woven into the working day

We help Amsterdam teams add short, structured activity breaks to long stretches at the desk. Everything we share is general, educational, and designed around real office schedules.

Our approach

Activity that respects how offices actually run

No equipment lists to chase, no dramatic claims. We focus on practical structure: when to stand, how to vary posture, and how to make short breaks feel routine rather than disruptive.

Realistic rhythm

Sessions are timed to fit between calls and tasks, so movement becomes a natural part of the calendar instead of an extra chore.

Plain explanations

Every idea comes with a clear, non-technical description of what it involves and why it suits a desk-based day.

Adjustable by you

Each suggestion can be made gentler or fuller. You decide what feels comfortable and stop whenever you prefer.

What we offer

Four ways to bring movement into the workspace

Guidance

Activity consulting

A structured conversation about your office layout and schedule, followed by general suggestions for fitting in short movement breaks.

Plans

Personalised activity plans

A non-medical weekly outline of light movement ideas, tailored to the time you genuinely have available during the day.

Learning

Educational material

Readable guides that explain the basics of posture variety, standing breaks, and simple desk-friendly stretches.

Programs

Team movement challenges

Light, optional group challenges that give colleagues a shared reason to step away from the screen for a few minutes.

What a session feels like

Calm, short, and easy to repeat

Our sessions are intentionally low-key. There is no pressure to perform and nothing to prove. The aim is simply to interrupt long periods of sitting with a few minutes of gentle, varied movement.

  • Clear, step-by-step descriptions you can follow at your own pace.
  • Ideas that work in regular clothing and ordinary office shoes.
  • Options to scale the effort up or down depending on the day.
How it works

From first chat to a steady routine

We listen first

You tell us how your day is structured, where the long sitting stretches happen, and what already works for you.

We outline general ideas

You receive a written outline of movement suggestions, grouped by how much time and space each one needs.

You try and adjust

You keep what fits, set aside what does not, and we refine the outline together over a few short check-ins.

A few numbers

Steady, sensible, and built to last

These figures describe how we work, not outcomes we promise. Every person and team is different, and we keep our language honest about that.

A typical week

How movement can sit in a calendar

This is one example rhythm. You are free to rearrange everything to match your own meetings, focus time, and quieter moments in the day.

  • Gentle start

    A short standing reset between the first two meetings to ease into the week.

  • Midweek variety

    A change of posture and a brief walk around the floor during the afternoon dip.

  • Wind down

    A relaxed stretch sequence to close the week without rushing.

The outline gave our team a simple, no-fuss way to step away from the screen more often.

Good to know

Questions people often ask first

No. We provide general, informational content about adding light activity to a working day. We do not offer diagnosis, treatment, or any form of medical advice.

Generally no. Most ideas use only the space around a desk. If something needs a chair or a bit of floor space, we say so clearly in the description.

Yes. Many of our outlines are written with small teams in mind, and the optional group challenges are designed to be light and entirely voluntary.
