Upper management is not going to like all those 5 minute walks

There’s no way this is sustainable for people working office jobs though

5 minutes every 30 minutes? Nice, but not feasible in an office setting

I wonder about the reverse. Being on your feet for an 8 hr shift but only getting two 10 minute breaks to sit

I can personally assure you there are employers that would be vehemently against this despite the evidence it doesn’t harm production

that's 40 minutes of walking. nice idea, but corporate America will not allow that

Every 30 minutes is so disruptive.

the issue is the 40 hour work week. it’s unnecessary for most office jobs and terrible for our health.

It’s almost like we weren’t meant to work a desk job

Or we could boycott our current labor market and actually be allowed to live like humans again?

this could be a real reason people start smoking. it's a "socially acceptable" way to get a few minutes break

No one should have to work longer than 4hrs a day max and no more than 4days a week

My attention span doesn’t slow me to task switch like this. I feel so trapped. If I do this that is all that is happening that day. I really work.

I don’t see ANY scenario where you can take 5 min to move every half hour at work

It would be good if they tested say 5 or 10 min every hour. That would link in with research about the pomodoro technique.

Five minute breaks every hour? What am I, a smoker?

I wish it'd give us more infos on how different intervals of breaks work in comparison. Because standing up every 30 minutes? Not feasible for me. If I stand up after a prolonged time of sitting, /1

I read this study a few weeks ago and have been doing 5 min walks around my house every half hour. Can confirm— more energy, better mood, able to focus fully between those 5 minutes. Highly recommend!
