A little movement every day can go a long way. So, join us for our upcoming online events and discover how sneaking small, playful exercises into your daily routine can make a big difference.
IKEA co-workers
Our bodies are designed to move, and fortunately, you don’t have to spend hours at the gym or run a marathon to reap the benefits. In fact, research shows that even a small amount of regular movement strengthens us from head to toe and positively impacts thousands of substances in our blood, giving us more energy, blocking pain, and improving our memory, sleep, and immune system. Plus, it has a huge impact on our mental health, boosting happiness, concentration, problem-solving abilities, and self-esteem while helping us feel more in control and less stressed.
We’re excited to launch our fall theme, ”Small steps, big wins”, where three interesting profiles – an unconventional professor, a well-known health expert and an IKEA co-worker that was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 – will talk about movement and training in a totally new way during three online talks.
They will be sharing what movement means to them personally, smart tips, exercise ideas and life hacks for micro habits: movement on the go that requires only a few minutes of your time now and then.
Join us this fall for our upcoming online events and get ideas for small changes in your daily routine that can add up to great benefits for your mind and body. So, let’s get moving and enjoy all the amazing benefits it brings!
