- Revitalizes health - Increases productivity - Improves mental acuity and creativity - Counteracts stress and fatigue - Quiet and convenient

Long hours in front of a computer, phone calls and meetings account for most of our day at the office, which involves an unnatural amount of sitting. The human body is just the same as it was 10,000 years ago, when lunch meant charging meals with a spear instead of a credit card, and isn’t designed for the inactivity of the modern workplace. This is why sitting for hours at a desk is proven to reduce mental and physical vitality along with productivity. Our sedentary lifestyle also impacts our health, with effects that range from back problems and muscular disorders to much more serious issues like depression, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, all of which are on the rise.

The lethargy that a typical office environment produces is easily reversed by adding the kind of activity that our mind and body need to thrive. Increased vitality improves every aspect of day-to-day operations, including productivity, and results in a healthier staff and less absences. The bellicon Workplace program is designed to improve occupational health in any office.

THE MOST DANGEROUSDEVICE IN YOUR OFFICEOver the last 50 years, the American workday has become increasingly sedentary. Adults now spend over 10 hours a day, over two-thirds of their waking hours, in front of a screen (A.C. Nielsen report, 2018.) This decline in daily activity has been shown to correlate directly with the dramatic rise in obesity, diabetes, heart diseases, several types of cancer and other illnesses.

According to the World Health Organization, physical inactivity has become the fourth leading cause of premature death for people worldwide.

“Those who sat for more than eight hours a day have a 15 percent greater risk of dying within three years than those who sat for fewer than four hours a day.” Archives of Internal Medicine

“Sitting is like a disease. The goal is to avoid prolonged sitting and to add any kind of physical activity to your day.”Dr. Edward Phillips, Harvard Medical School

“The chair is out to kill us.” Dr. James Levine, endocrinologist,from The Los Angeles Times

"A lot of doctors think sitting is the new cancer"Tim Cook, CEO of Apple

“Estimates are that some 300,000 deaths each year in the U. S. likely are the results of physical inactivity.” Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention

“Conclusive and overwhelming scientific evidence exists for physical inactivity as a primary and actual cause of most chronic diseases, [affecting] almost every cell, organ, and system in the body causing sedentary dysfunction and accelerated death.”American Physiological Society

WHAT DOESN’T HELPSTANDING DOESN’T HELPThough standing may be a little better than sitting, standing can be a sedentary act, too, often involving no movement. And it’s the lack of movement that creates the negative health effects, whether you do it sitting or standing. And although standing rather than sitting does in-crease productivity, standing for long periods creates an entirely new set of problems, including fatigue, physical discomfort and a loss of overall mental sharpness.

MORE EXERCISE DOESN’T HELPEven if you exercise regularly, it doesn’t counteract the damage done by hours of sitting. Just as eating vegetables is good for you, but it can’t undo the effects of smoking all day.

“Vigorous physical activity does not cancel out the impact of sedentary time. Even physically active people who spend a lot of their time being sedentary appear to have increased risk.” American Heart Association

“Prolonged sitting is a risk factor for all-cause mortality, independent of physical activity.” American Medical Association

WHAT DOES HELPADDING MOVEMENTIn terms of the health benefits, there’s an huge difference between adding standing time to the workday and adding movement. A recent Australian study showed that replacing two hours of sitting with standing only improved blood sugar levels (2% lower) and did little else, whereas including walking movements at a standing desk helped people to lose weight (11% lower BMI), trim up (7.5 cm smaller waist) and dramatically lower their blood sugar and choles-terol.[Eur Heart J. 2015 Oct 14]

“Exercise microbursts throughout the day can reduce fatigue and improve energy level and mood, while maintaining usual cognitive performance. Contrary to effects following a single continuous bout of activity, the effects of microbursts of activity were sustained throughout the day. [They] increase workers’ well-being and energy.”International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (2016) 13:113

BENEFITS FOR YOUR WORKPLACE

The bellicon® is the only mini-trampoline recommended by the campaign for healthier backs

THE WORLDS BEST EXERCISE

ALSO HAPPENS TO BE OFFICE FRIENDLY

The bellicon provides the world’s most complete full-body exercise, but it’s also happens to be quiet, convenient and lightweight, making it the perfect choice for a work environment.

It’s more effective than treadmills, elliptical machines and stationary bikes for improving fitness and health, but it won’t disturb coworkers and can be set up or stowed away in seconds. With standing desks, you don’t even have to leave your workstation to enjoy the benefits.

Just a few minutes throughout the day combats fatigue and stress, improves both your mind and your mood and counteracts the health problems produced by hours of sitting. It’s also ideal for anyone looking to build their fitness as well as their health, because bouncing on the bellicon burns fat and increases cardiovascular strength more efficiently than running.

“The bellicon keeps me at my best throughout the day. When I’m feeling stressed and my concentration fades, it helps me to refocus and relax. The bellicon improves my attention and makes my workday better.” Dr. Dieter Breithecker, Director of BAG

National Association for the Promotion of Posture and Physical Activity in the Workplace

How can there be so many benefits from such a simple device? Because, unlike other forms of exercise, bouncing on the bellicon creates alternating waves of gravitation and weightlessness that con-dition your body from head to toe, inside and out. It’s like a full-body tune-up that takes just minutes a day and gives your body everything it needs to renew your health, fitness and peace of mind.

OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:• Exceptional at burning fat and improving cardiovascular

strength• Tones every muscle group, particularly core muscles• Dramatically improves balance and proprioception• Increases bone density, fights osteoporosis• Lubricates joints, discs and reduces symptoms of arthritis• Improves back health• Helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels• And many more

“Adding movement to our work areas was essential in the creation of a healthy, efficient and creative work environment. I use the bellicon myself everyday, and I’m absolutely convinced of its benefits for me and my company.“ (Toni Lee, CEO Sitag)

ADDING MOMENTUMTO YOUR OFFICE

The bellicon easily integrates into any office environment because its portable, lightweight design and virtually silent performance make it unobtrusive, easy to use and easy to share.

Place it beside any workspace to enjoy short, energizing health breaks throughout the day or use it with a standing desk to keep your body and mind invigorated while you work. By grouping multiple units, colleagues can enjoy all the benefits together, whether to generate more creative solutions in a meeting room or to inspire one another as they exercise in a dedicated fitness area.

bellicon Dynamic Workspace

All the movement you need without leaving your desk.

Combined with a standing desk, a bellicon Dynamic Work-space provides the movement and muscular engagement that standing desks alone can’t give you. The bellicon’s pliable surface and gentle suspension keep your body activated and your mind alert, jumpstarting your health and productivity without interrupting your workflow. And because it only takes moments to swap between your bellicon and your chair, your work never misses a beat.

Another effective option is to keep your bellicon beside your desk for short “micro workouts.” Just a few minutes of bouncing at intervals throughout the day reverses the lethargy and health problems caused by sitting. Doing a little bouncing while listening to your messages or making a call may not seem like much, but it can have an enor-mous impact on your day and your long-term health and wellbeing.

bellicon Meeting Point

Add a bellicon to any area and it becomes a personal recharging station, add a few, and you’ve created a power grid.

The mental and physical energy produced by bouncing can lift otherwise unremarkable meetings to new levels of productivity and turn dry brain-storming sessions into downpours. All because the movement generated on the bellicon boosts your metabolism and circulates oxygen to your brain more efficiently than anything else. The simple fact is that people operate better when they’re active and on their feet...which explains why surgery isn’t performed around coffee tables.

Bouncing is also fun, producing a childlike joyfulness that brings people together, even in a work environment. It’s a natural way to help people exchange ideas and improve social interactions while enjoying all of the other health and fitness benefits.

A bellicon Meeting Point is a powerful tool for lifting spirits, gener-ating solutions and keeping your employees healthy and happy.

bellicon Active Station

A bellicon Active Station turns any area of your workplace into a mini fitness studio.

Instead of just standing around waiting for coffee to brew or pages to print, a nearby Active Station can transform those wasted min-utes into an invigorating fitness break. The bellicon engages your entire body so efficiently that even short sessions will noticiably improve your workday. Because these “mini-workouts” don’t take long, many people can enjoy the benefits from a single Active Station.

COST OF POOR HEALTHAmerica’s new sedentary lifestyle is not only seriously damaging our health, it’s also having a significant economic impact. Of the $3 trillion dollars we spend on healthcare annually, the CDC estimates that physical inactivity is directly responsible for over 11% of it, or more than $330 billion.

For employers, our declining health and expanding waistlines can be measured at the bottom line. The average health care cost per-employ-ee per-year is now over $12,800, and continues to rise.

Additionally U.S. employees take an average of 14 sick days a year, costing businesses an average of $380 a day per employee..

Of course, sick days and escalating healthcare costs are only part of the price that a company pays for a sedentary workforce. It’s harder to quantify how much the vitality of a company itself suffers when the energy, mental acuity, fitness and creativity of it’s employees are com-promised due to inactivity.

"Workpalce stress [causes] additional expenditures of anywhere from $125 to $190 billion dollars a year - representing 5 to 8 percent of national spending on health care."Forbes Magazine

Everyone benefits when physical activity is introduced into a typical office environment. For employees, it counteracts the multitude of health problems caused by hours of sitting, reduces stress, improves their overall fitness and lifts their spirits. For employers, it energizes and enhances their workforce, empowering them to have healthier, happier and more productive careers.

The bellicon Workplace Program is ideal for improving the health of your office because the bellicon is so much more effective and efficient than other exercise devices. Recent studies done with the bellicon have shown dramatic improvements in cardiovascular strength, fat reduction, body parameters, blood sugar levels, core strength, balance, and more, all in a matter of weeks and just doing a fraction of the 150 minutes of weekly exercise recommended by the World Health Organization.

When you bring these benefits into the workplace, they dramatically affect work performance, absenteeism and overall health. With the reduc-tion of just two sick days a year, the program more than pays for itself.

THE PERFECT OFFICEMATEAmazingly efficient, completely reliable, extremely quiet but really fun to work with.If only everyone in your office were more like the bellicon.

The bellicon is not only the best device of its kind, but mini-trampoline exercise itself, know as “re-bounding,” is the best exercise for improving your health and fitness. Compared with running, rebound-ing burns fat 50% faster and improves cardiovascular fitness more than twice as fast, all without strain-ing joints or stepping outside. And the bellicon is truly fun to use, so instead of avoiding exercise, you’ll be looking forward to it.

The bellicon converts g-forces into full-body fitness

Unlike any other exercise, rebounding uses the changing gravitational forces produced by bouncing to condition your body from head to toe, inside and out. Our custom-formulated, extremely low-impact bungee suspension system maximizes these effects, giving you the best muscle-toning, core-strength-ening, cardio-pumping workout in the world, all from a single, portable, elegantly simple device.
