Pausit Coach - break program for employees
Pausit Coach helps you remember to take restorative breaks and reduce prolonged sitting. By taking regular movement breaks, we can prevent many health issues and make working life more sustainable. Download it now!
Pausit Coach offers three different programs with over 100 simple exercises/sessions (stretching, strength, breathing, and relaxation exercises). 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.
The programmes
- 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.
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.
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.
Examples of settings and functions
- Create a workout with your favorite exercises
- Choose different times for different days
- Choosing different types of exercises at different times (random, relaxing or favorite exercises)
- Five different languages: Swedish, English, Norwegian, German and Dutch.
