PausIT Coach - pauseprogram for employees

Pausit Coach offers three different programs with over 100 simple exercises/sessions (stretching, strength, breathing, and relaxation exercises). When you install the program, you automatically get the opportunity to try all three programs for 21 days. After that, you choose which program you want to continue with for the rest of the year and until May 2027.

A ready‑made schedule filled with mixed sessions is added automatically. You can choose to schedule when, how often, and what type of exercises you want to do. 

We strongly recommend that you also install the reminder function — see below. It will appear as a green heart in the bottom right corner and gives you a discreet reminder on your computer based on your scheduled breaks — and you decide whether to start the session or not.

The programs are: 
Move – An animated trainer (the same as in our previous version) guides you through simple exercises. 
Office Strength – A trainer demonstrates short strength sessions adapted for an office environment. No equipment needed. Yoga – A trainer demonstrates office‑friendly yoga exercises for all levels, as well as breathing and relaxation exercises.

Step 2: install the reminder function 

When you have installed the program, it is important that you also install the small icon in the bottom right corner of your computer. This is your reminder function, which is crucial for whether your active break actually happens or not! See the manual: https://selfservice.ki.se/sv-se/knowledgebase/article/KA-01690
