Break express - the moving break in everyday life

The "Pausenexpress" (break time express) is a 5 to 15-minute mobilization and relaxation offer for university staff and students. It includes mobilization, strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises led by qualified trainers.

Break express for employees

Break express in presence

Small sports equipment is used to train the core, shoulder and neck muscles directly at the workplace. The sport takes place in everyday clothing, so you can get started straight away. The break express helps to reduce stress, improve the climate in the working environment and thus also improve health and safety at work. There should be four to eight people per group.

Break Express digital

The break express trainers come to the workplace virtually and carry out a 15-minute exercise programme for employees, consisting of mobilization, strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises. The exercises focus on the shoulder, neck and back area. Even without the use of small equipment, you will experience a versatile exercise program that requires neither sportswear nor a change of location.

When? Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30 to 11:45 a.m. , Thursdays 12:00-12:15 p.m.
