Physical activity in the workplace is essential for reducing office stress, improving concentration, and increasing productivity. This was the focus of Krasi Georgiev and Venelina Velichkova, co-founders of CHAIR UP – the first office wellness program in Bulgaria, established in 2018, dedicated to employee health at the workplace. They participated in Career Show 2022 with the topic “Brain Food – How Workplace Physical Activity Can Make Us More Effective and Focused.”
During the event, the two speakers not only shared scientifically backed strategies for enhancing cognitive function through movement but also demonstrated practical techniques to energize both body and mind. They showed how short office exercises can help boost focus and maintain productivity even on busy days, without relying on caffeine or other stimulants.
Regular movement during work hours is crucial for people with sedentary jobs, who spend long hours in offices or working from home. Prolonged sitting can lead to muscle tension, poor circulation, and even reduced brain activity. Studies show that physical activity stimulates the release of “growth factors” in the brain, which support the creation of new neural connections, improve memory, and enhance learning abilities.
CHAIR UP helps companies and their employees incorporate more movement into their daily routines through custom-designed workplace health programs. These include office gymnastics, breathing techniques, and exercises for better posture and concentration. The program is structured to be easily integrated into even the busiest office schedules while significantly improving employees’ physical and mental well-being.
With their participation in Career Show 2022, Krasi Georgiev and Venelina Velichkova once again proved that movement is the key to better concentration, stress reduction in the workplace, and achieving better results at work.
