Principle rules for the office workplace
The Valedo offers playful exercises for your back. Picture: AGR e. V.
3 MB; Jpeg Bild
The BLACKROLL® Mini is the perfect device for massaging your hands. Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 5 - Sitting for hours in the office puts a strain not just on your back and on your joints, it is also tiring for your eyes. It can even impair your vision in the long term. This can be prevented with eye training, such as this exercise, for example. Hold an index finger about 15 centimetres from your eyes and the index finger of your other hand about twice as far away. Now fix your eyes on a third object several metres away. Focus your eyes alternately on the index finger of your first hand, the index finger of your second hand and then the third object. Then relax your eyes by closing your eyelids and placing your hands over your eyes with your fingers pointing upwards. Open your eyes again after about one minute Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 4 - Sit upright on a chair and stretch your arms forwards. Shake the Brasils for about 30 seconds with short, fast chopping movements. This trains the muscles of your upper arms and back. Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 3 - Stretching your shoulder and neck muscles. Stretch your arms away from your body and fold your hands. Bend your head forwards until you can clearly feel that you are stretching. Hold the tension. Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 2 - Stretching your upper arms. Stretch your right arm over your head then bend it at the elbow; with your left hand, grasp your elbow joint and pull it towards your left shoulder. Hold the tension for about ten seconds, then repeat for the other side. Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 1b - This is another exercise to stretch your shoulders. Stretch one arm out in front of you; with the other hand, grasp your upper arm and pull it over your body to the side. Hold the tension, then repeat for the other side. Picture: AGR e. V.
Exercise 1a - Stretching your shoulders. Brief stretching helps to prevent tension. To stretch your back and shoulders, stretch your arms upwards, grasp your left wrist with your right hand and pull your left arm to the right. Hold the tension for a few seconds, then change to the other side. Picture: AGR e. V.
The Balanza Ballstep is an ideal addition to the standing desk or desk that can be adjusted in height. Picture: AGR e. V.

Finding the correct sitting height leg length straight / leg bent For the sake of simplicity, the saddle height is measured from the middle of the pedal crank bearing to the top edge of the seat. Rule of thumb to find the right sitting height: inside leg (measured barefoot) x 0.885. Picture: AGR/Riese & Müller
Adjusting the saddle: When the pedal crank is horizontal, a plumb weight can be dropped from the front of the knee through the pedal axle. Important: the saddle height should have been correctly adjusted first and the cyclist should be sitting comfortably on the saddle. The saddle permits fully variable movement forwards or backwards to reach the ideal position. Picture: AGR/Riese & Müller
Saddle, handlebars, pedals. These interfaces (and thus the combination that the cyclist forms with the bike) are influenced to a great extent by the geometry of the frame and the add-on parts. Picture: AGR/ Riese & Mueller

Training on the trampoline is not only fun, it is also good for a healthy back. Standing on the trampoline with one foot forwards, swing gently up and down and box your left and right arms in the arm as if an imaginary training partner were in front of you. You can also stretch your arms up or out to the side if you want to. Keep going until you get out of breath. Picture: AGR/bellicon
Coordination training with wobbly inflated equipment has a positive effect on posture and stability. Equipment such as the Jumper is ideal. For example, support yourself with your left knee on the jumper and your right arm on the floor. Stretch the opposite limbs out to form a straight line with your body. Hold this position for about one minute without wobbling, then repeat with the other side.Bild: Picture/TOGU
