Behind The Line
Work and wellbeing
We spend more than our fair share of our time at work sat down. Its the way of the modern world! This can lead up to a build up of tension and unused energy which for most of us is never used and simply leads to more stress. We need a way to release this energy so we can all work more efficiently.
Exercising and stretching regularly leads to a more relaxed, happy and alert individual. So how do we do this when we're sat at our desks all day long?
Easy we thought - desk exercises anyone can do under the privacy of their own desk as regular as you like
Here are our 5 (one for each day of the week) suggestions to help improve your Work and Wellbeing level
Why not give it a go yourself....
Day 1 - Monday - Neck and Shoulders
Day 1 has been removed due to health and safety.
Day 2 - Tuesday - Wrists
Day 3 - Wednesday - Back
Day 4 - Thursday - Legs
Day 5 - Friday - Ankles

These illustrations of how to keep fit and healthy at work are indeed admirable, however, I would like to see an episode, maybe Saturday or Sunday editions, demonstrating the best way to make a smoothie and what ingredients are best to use for a wholesome and nutritional inner-body experience.

Errmm less of the male-centred advice ta- let's not forget we have our very own resident health consultants at FK: a certain essex eat-your-greens brunette and slightly injured but fit'n'fabulous petite blond.....pop up to Account Management and discover women of many talents!
But, men of FK- watch out for the "energy bars", word on the street: they contain natural oestrogen, you want to get RID of those man boobs!

Why haven't I got a picture? Is it because I am fat?

No it's because you haven't had your mullet pruned unlike Jacobs

Dear All
Whilst I admire your attempt at getting us fit and relaxed in the work place, can I suggest you get your hairy a****s to the gym and do it for real!?! Otherwise, you'll end up shopping in the places Darryl ends up in on a Saturday afternoon!!!
