Break for the chair -movement videos

Brighten up your lectures, meetings, or your own work or study day with quick and easy movement break videos.

Each video lasts about three minutes and can be effortlessly integrated into lectures, meetings, or your own workday. The videos were filmed on the Linnanmaa campus and feature students and staff from both the University of Oulu and Oamk. They are freely available to use, and their purpose is to make taking breaks as simple and motivating as possible.

The videos include gentle yet effective movements designed by a physiotherapist, suitable for everyone – especially students and people who spend long periods sitting. The exercises help wake up the body, boost circulation, and ease tension in the shoulders, neck, and back. At the same time they offer a brief moment to reset, clear the mind and increase energy for the rest of the day.

In Panopto, you can choose Finnish or English as the subtitle language.

On YouTube, the videos are subtitled in Finnish.
