The chairs have held us hostage for too long.
It’s time to break free! If you’ve ever felt like your chair was slowly fusing to your bottom, this is your reminder to rise up, literally.
Struggling with back pain? Is the waistband on your trousers getting tighter? Feeling irritable for no apparent reason? A 5-minute active break could be the answer.
At The Hourly Uprising, we’re not handing out workout plans, but what we do have is a collection of satirical stories inspired by personal experience to raise awareness of the physical and mental toll of endless sitting.
Take five minutes, read a story, and who knows, you might just stumble across a revelation that changes the way you see your workday.
Join Fiona as she tackles the classic ‘get fit, lose weight’ resolution by breaking the ‘bottom-chair’ connection, one stretch, squat, and biscuit-free moment at a time!
