Activate Your Office
Daily activity is an important part of your present and future health & well-being,
which is why we need to break the unhealthy mold of the traditional office
environment. Studies continually show the negative impact of sitting all day in a locked
position. Creating an active office is simple and can contribute to the following health
benefits:
• Strengthened core and postural muscles in back and abdomen
• Improved posture and increased stabilization of spine
• Back pain relief
• Enhanced balance and stability
• Improved focus and energy while seated
• Increased productivity and decreased health costs
• Better flexibility and range of motion

Why is Burst Resistance Important?
Fitterfirst carries only burst-resistant balls to ensure that if a ball
is punctured, it deflates slowly and safely, rather than bursting
instantly, like a balloon. Burst resistant balls offer excellent
firmness, consistency and are durable.
Play it safe with proper Inflate & Date Procedures
All balls should have an inflation date clearly marked near the fill
valve or on the Date Inflated spot on the ball label. DuraBall and
Classic Balls have a production batch number and a Inflate then Date label for your
safety. Visit us on line and download our Do’s and Don’ts for Ball Safety poster.

Simple Steps to Activate your office
Improve Health • Reduce Fatigue • Increase Productivity • Stay Active
Based on Paul Chek 7 Primal Patterns of Movement
PUSH
PULL
Stand with knees slightly bent, grasp the edge
of your desk and lightly push against it to
activate the muscles in your arms, shoulders,
chest and core.
BEND
Holding the desk, gently pull back towards
yourself, activating your arms, shoulders
and back. Hold each push + pull for
5 seconds. Repeat 5 times.
From a standing position, fold forwards from the waist and rest
your arms on your desk to extend the muscles in your back and
stretch out your legs.
LIFT
SQUAT
In a controlled position, bend knees and grab
the back of a chair. Lift 1inch off the ground,
to activate muscles up the kinetic chain.
From standing keep your back upright and
slowly bend knees into a deep squat,
stretching all the muscle groups of the leg.
TWIST
While holding the desk, gently pull back towards yourself, activating
your arms, shoulders and back. Hold each push and pull for
5 second and repeat 5 times.
WALK
The best way keep all your muscles active is to stand up and take a
quick walk every half hour. Your muscles will thank you!
Try a walk and talk for your next meeting.
