The Case for Movement: Why Staying Active Matters at Work

Static lifestyles, especially during work hours, can lead to numerous health issues, including decreased mental sharpness. Physical activity boosts circulation, enhances concentration, and even sparks creativity. With Trojan’s versatile equipment, we’ll show you how to seamlessly integrate exercise into your daily professional life, so you can stay fit, alert, and always ahead of the curve.

Quick Fitness Breaks: Enhance Your Energy and Productivity

Introducing exercise into your workday isn’t just about staying fit—it’s also about keeping your mind sharp and your energy levels high. Here’s how to use Trojan’s equipment to add effective, easy-to-do fitness routines to your daily schedule:

Strength and Agility with Adjustable Dumbbells and Soft Kettlebells

Keep a set of Trojan Adjustable Dumbbells and Soft Kettlebells nearby. They’re your new best friends for quick strength workouts:

• Dumbbell Curls: Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms down at your sides. Slowly curl the weights up to your shoulders, then lower them back down. Do 2 sets of 10 reps.
• Shoulder Presses: Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Push the dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended above your head, then bring them back to shoulder height. Do 2 sets of 8 reps.
• Kettlebell Swings: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in front of you with both hands. Bend your knees slightly and swing the kettlebell between your legs, then thrust your hips forward to swing it up to chest height. Do 2 sets of 12 swings.

Core and Flexibility on the Trojan Yoga Mat

A Trojan Yoga Mat is perfect for some midday stretching or core workouts. Try these exercises as a midday energiser:

• Plank: Lay face down, then lift your body up onto your elbows and toes, keeping your back flat. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds, doing 3 sets.
• Dynamic Stretching: Spend 10 minutes doing various stretches such as toe touches, lunges, and arm reaches to help increase your flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness.

Engage and Tone with Resistance Bands

Trojan Resistance Tubes and Bands can be used even while seated. Here are a couple of simple exercises:

• Seated Leg Presses with Resistance Bands: Sit in your chair and loop a band around your legs, just above your knees. Extend your legs out in front of you, then return to the starting position. Do 3 sets of 12 reps.
• Overhead Tube Stretches: Hold a resistance tube with both hands, extend your arms above your head, and gently pull the tube apart. Hold for a few seconds, then return to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 8 reps.

Hand and Forearm Strength with the Handgrip Strengthening Ring

Use the Trojan Handgrip Strengthening Ring for some low-key, stress-busting exercise. Squeeze it during those long calls or while brainstorming.

• Grip Exercises: Hold the ring in one hand and squeeze it tightly, then release. Repeat this 10 times for each hand, doing 3 sets.

Upper Body Workouts with the Doorway Pull-Up Bar

Each time you pass, try to do a pull-up or just hang there for a bit. Start with what feels doable—maybe just one pull-up or a few seconds of hanging.

• Pull-Ups: Stand under the pull-up bar, grasp it with both hands, and pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar, then lower yourself back down. Start with 1-2 pull-ups each time you pass the bar.
• Static Hang: Grasp the bar and hang with your feet off the ground for as long as you can hold. Try to increase your time gradually.
