THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW FINISHED
Break Pal, created by Phil and Liz Weaver, is a desk exercise program – part exercise timer, part exercise video delivered to your desktop, and part social network of workout buddies.
If you spend the majority of your day tied to your desk, staring at a computer screen, lacking motivation or can’t find the time to get to the gym, Break Pal might be your solution.
Every 30 minutes (or however often you set it to go off), Break Pal will pop up on your computer screen and remind you to exercise. The program will then direct you to a video with an exercise of your choice.
The exercise are range from 2 – 5 minutes long. Some are easy. Some are hard. The exercises are designed to work every part of your body and by exercising for 3 minutes every 30 minutes for an 8 hour work day, it will give you the same results as doing a 45 minute aerobic class.
But how do you stay accountable?
The program is built around a social networking site where everyone has one thing in common and that is to stay in shape while leading a busy lifestyle and working a desk job. Similar to having a workout buddy, your Break Pal buddies will be able to see if you did your workout because you earn points for each workout you do.
How much does it cost?
A subscription costs only $9.95us per month. New exercises are added all the time so there is always something new to do.
What do I think of it?
Installing the program was simple. I’ve set it to pop up in 30 minute intervals. I do 2 lots of 4 hour work time so doing a couple minutes of exercise every 1/2 hour breaks the monotony of staring at the screen for hours on end.
Liz popped up on my screen and I chose to do the “Pull Twist from chair” exercise. I was very surprised to find that an exercise done in a chair can have an impact! I didn’t think I was going to last the 1:44mins!
