Description
Designed and manufactured in Finland, Gymba Activation Board is now available in Australia through Experienced Office Furniture.
This revolutionary, patented activation board is made of a unique, ecological composite material. It consists of 45% cellulose and 55% polypropylene (PP). Polypropylene is odourless and kind to the skin with no harmful physiological effects. Standing on a hard floor may cause pain in feet and lower extremities which not only causes discomfort – but which may result in a compromised Sit/Stand program. GYMBA provides a platform that is easier, smoother and more comfortable to use, making standing a more tempting option when the user elects to do so.

Health Benefits of using the Gymba
Burning calories: By standing on Gymba and moving feet back and forth in a walking action (see images below) whilst working at desk or workstation, we burn a significant amount of calories as compared to sitting or standing immobile.
Increased blood flow: With our feet moving, we increase the blood circulation from the lower extremities, decreasing the risk of varicose veins, oedema and thrombosis.
Improved concentration: The increased blood flow also positively affects our brain function and concentration at work.
Musculoskeletal issues: In many cases, aches, pains and soreness in back, knees, shoulders and arms is significantly reduced, as reported by many users so far in Europe when Gymba has been utilized to increase movement during the working day.
Better fitness: Even if we exercise regularly, introducing more movement during our working day will improve our overall fitness, including muscular strength.
Other health benefits: According to research in various institutions, increasing our movement and exercise will decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, cardiovascular diseases, selected cancers and premature death. In many cases, our sleep quality is also improved.
