At work, we spend so much time sitting at our desks, an activity (or rather, passivity) that our bodies have not evolved for. To keep your back healthy, we offer this exercise course.

It takes place on Tuesdays from 11:00-11:45 am in the CSBD Atrium ground floor. The course, which is due to start on 1 September 2026, will run for a total of 10 weeks (including a break during the Saxon autumn half-term holidays). Please check the exact dates when you register. 

Please wear appropriate clothing for movement. The course includes:

• many movement exercises to strengthen the back muscles
• stretching exercises and tips for a better posture at the workplace
• tips for relaxing the shoulder and neck area
• exercises are performed both standing and lying on a mat (not provided - please bring your own)
• feasible for all training conditions

 

At this point, participation costs 150 EUR up front - this may be reimbursed partially or in full by your health insurance. (Please check with your health insurance company in advance.) At the conclusion of the event, a participation certificate will be generated for submission to your insurance provider. The total should be transferred within the first few days after the start of the course via Bank transfer.

A minimum number of participants is required for the course to take place.
