Walk@Work C

Automated program that promotes physical activity in the workplace.

Walk@Work C is an automated program that promotes physical activity in the workplace. It suggests strategies in order to reduce the long periods of time you spend seated and to increase the number of steps you take while at work.

Why?

• Being seated for long periods of time is a risk factor that is harmful on health.

• The high prevalence of seated jobs has become a fundamental cause of the increase in the time we remain seated each day.

• 80% of people spend a large part of their work time (6-8 hours a day) doing jobs that imply no kind of movement.

• Doing exercise in one’s leisure time does not eliminate the health risks of sitting for long periods of time.

Who is it for?

• For people with sedentary jobs who spend 6-8 hours sitting during their working day.

• For people who spend long periods of time sitting during the day, maybe up to a total of 8-10 hours a day.

• For people who do physical activity or physical exercise in their free time, but who still spend many hours sitting at work.

• For people who want to protect their health and feel better by reducing a lifestyle that is harmful on their health.
