Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with sedentary jobs who are interested in breaking up their sitting time with short bursts of physical activity. Participants should be motivated to follow video-based instructions for simple exercises without equipment.

The study tests 'exercise snacks'—1-4 minute bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity done throughout the workday. The goal is to see if these active breaks can improve mental and emotional well-being at work.
