💪 Short desk exercises, big effect

Short breaks, or micro breaks, are desk exercises that last from few seconds to a couple of minutes. You take them to break up long periods of sedentary work; like sitting in front of the computer. These effective breaks not only energise your mind, but also reverse the bad effects of sitting by giving your body more movement throughout the day.

💎 2 fewer sick days per person each year

Research shows that sitting long periods of time has a direct impact on many life-style diseases, such as diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders and heart diseases. Even short breaks can revoke the bad effects of sitting too long. Using Cuckoo regularly has been proven to reduce the number of sick days. Read more about the research here.

🌱 More productivity with healthier and regular habits

The modern work environment is demanding on our brains: the constant flow of information and stimuli overwhelms and tires us. The brain needs small moments of rest throughout the workday to function properly. Short breaks refresh us and ensure that we can work efficiently. Taking care of recovery during the workday also helps prevent burnout in the long term and keeps your team motivated.
