Here comes the Piccolo

What's the benefit?

A piece of sports equipment that you jump around on while you work?  
That's what the world has been waiting for.

You don't want to do gymnastics. 
You don't want to balance. 
You don't want to sweat. 
We get that.

Here are some great reasons why you need to get on it anyway.

Concentration booster

Your brain loves new challenges. 
It has to be just big enough to seem doable. 
Your brain releases hormones that give you wings. 
And did you know that your brain is a real energy burner?  
Concentration and thinking require a lot of calories.

The modern aspirin

If you stay in the same position for a long time, your body gets used to it.  
Unused structures weaken. 
Parts of the body that are used again and again become overstressed.  
What is the result? 
Hello pain!

With Piccolo you hold yourself upright like a reflex.  
The two tapes force you to constantly balance. 
And to find your center. 

The science behind it

Proprioception and sensorimotor integration? 
Probably of little interest to you.  

We'll tell you anyway.  
A little to show off. 
And a little so that you understand  
that this is not hocus-pocus. 
It's hard science.

Coffee is “fake energy”

Nothing against coffee. 
We all love a good espresso or cappuccino. 
But.... 
Energy levels rise briefly and then drop again. 
You get less out of it.

Exercise is better! 
Because movement supplies your brain with plenty of oxygen. 
This allows you to concentrate better, solve problems and unleash your creativity.

And you release countless hormones. 
Dopamine and serotonin, for example. 
It lifts your mood. 
And makes you more productive.

Sitting is the new smoking

Sitting for long periods slows down your metabolism. 
Reduces your calorie consumption. 
Weakens your muscles. 
And who wants weak muscles?

But it gets worse. 
It also increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes and obesity. 
It also worsens your mood. 
And the latest findings link prolonged sitting to a higher risk of depression.

We don't want that. 
So, get up!

An unstable surface is super good for your brain

An unstable work surface combines physical activity and cognitive challenge. 
Keeps your body and brain moving. 
Promotes your health. 
And improves your work performance.

It's a win-win-win-win-win situation.
