To help prevent WMSDs/WRULDs try doing some gentle stretches; just make sure people move around regularly rather than being in fixed positions.

As for getting fitter who remembers "The Bullworker" ?

Go for a walk at lunch time.

Hi Richard,
I'm a firm believer that chasing the secretary around the office improves ones health and stamina. However don't forget to risk assess this activity first :-)

Sorry, for my bad spelling. I meant endorphins not endorfins!

On a more serious note. I have come across lots of Display screen equipment exercises in various publications and courses. However, most people are too absorbed into their work or embarrassed to do them. For those that are still willing to try them, the novalty quickly wears off.

I think it is far better for employers to negotiate discount gym memberships and encourage their staff to take lunch breaks away from the workplace. At the same time I appreciate that not all jobs can have a full lunch break because of the nature of the work. Even then, a 10 minute walk could do wonders. Also, to ban the use of a lift except for people in wheelchairs and when loading.
