After a 1 week trial of Health Breaks in their schools, we surveyed participating teachers about the value of Health Breaks app and our Active and Calm brain break Pods. 100% stated they would continue to use Health Breaks to provide active and calm brain breaks for their class!! https://healthbreaks.com.au/solutions/healthy-schools/ #healthyschools #teachers #ActiveSchools #activekids #brainbreaks #schoolwellbeing #activeandhealthy #lifelonghealth
According to National Guidelines, children and youth should aim for 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Great news! The 60 minutes can be made up of shorter bursts of activity throughout the day that add up to 60 minutes or longer. Teachers are encouraged to include exercise and activity breaks within the classroom to reduce sedentary behaviours. The Health Breaks app makes this super easy to press and play 2-10min Pods for active breaks at any time. Tag your school and let them know we can get them started for 2022. #healthyschools #ActiveSchools #activebreaks #brainbreaks #sitless #getactive #activeforlife
Know a school that can champion health and wellbeing for children? We strive to embed the habit of taking a self-care brain break each day for mental and physical health. Children who learn this habit early in life have a high chance of continuing the practice throughout life. This will help prevent mental health issues escalating, increase coping strategies for stress and emotions, as well as keep bodies active and prevent prolonged sitting. Part of the program involves building leadership skills in senior students (year 5 and above) to offer peer support for health and wellbeing: School Health Champs. Let your school or community know and together, we will help make children's world a happier place! https://healthbreaks.com.au/solutions/healthy-schools/ #healthyschools #brainbreaks #healthchamps #healthandwellbeing #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #preventativehealth
Our mental health is closely linked to our physical health. That's why moving and exercise has a positive impact on our mood. Take a short break to ceck-in with yourself and your emotions, hop off the chair for a quick stretch, take a deep breath and continue on....

Tuesday Breather: Take a brain break with Box Breathing. This technique was adopted by the US Navy as a stress relief exercise. It is otherwise known as 4-square breathing. It involves taking slow, deep breaths in 4 stages, exhale, inhale, hold, exhale.
Tuesday Breather: Taking a few minutes each day for some deep breathing to refocus, re-set and energise will heighten your self-awareness and make you feel more alert. Doing this as part of your normal working day will improve your sense of wellbeing and your performance at work and beyond.

The thing we are all missing the most is togetherness! We are bringing teams of workmates, colleagues, school communities and workplaces together for our Step it Up Challenge. Teams will motivate eachother to reach 10,000 steps a day and strive for other healthy targets all supported by Health Breaks app. The winning team chooses the Charity they will give the winning prize donation to. We know that giving makes us feel good. For organisations wanting to boost some positivity in their workforce or school community - this could be a nice distraction and a positive way to escape the hamster wheel of lockdown while getting fit.
