0 Recess for adults or cubicle calesthenics?

Dennis Thompson, HealthDay, Sept 28, 2010, says some companies are doing recess.

This is a 10-minute break with dance or sports-like movement.

Yuh-oh—I am thinking North Korea.

Yes, this is part of the U.S. National Physical Activity Plan, a cooperative effort of a number of health orgs, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American Heart Association, YMCA, and AARP.

One company said they did adult recess of a 20-minute walk every other day and daily 15-min aerobics classes.

Reportedly, people are more focused and less lethargic in the afternoon.

They do this in Japan. Japan! I was thinking North Korea.

At first, one said, there is eyerolling (not an approved movement, I gather). It seems hokey.

If it’s voluntary, OK. Forced? Sit on a tack! But you know how I am.
