Two days ago, I was in a factory in Shenzhen. I had just selected the cartons to check, and I was going to the inspection room. It was around 10am. Then the music started, and everybody got up to exercise.
It was so funny, I shot this video:
This type of exercise, at a certain time for everybody (both in workshops and in offices), is not very common in factories.
It is mandatory in schools, early in the morning, though. Many adults seem to miss it. Some of them got fat and told me they wish they had to run around for 15min every day…
So I like this idea, but the downside is that it interrupts the workers. It might be fine for piece workers, but what about office managers trying to concentrate on complex tasks?

Your remarks tend to be as funny as the video, they make you sound like a kind of slave trading lobbyist. I’m not sure it has downsides regarding office work, physical exercise is good for irrigating the brain and may contribute to more efficient thinking or problem solving, better than intoxicating oneself with coffee while staring at an hypnotic computer screen (while I write this I am intoxicating myself with coffee and staring at an hypnotic computer screen, so what… ?)
Haha yes, actually it sounds this way.
