Why is exercise so important?
Movement is THE theme that drives the Aeris company and all employees. The company motto is: "Life in motion" and all Aeris products are consistently aligned with this philosophy. Why? Because movement is essential for life, health and well-being.
All processes in the body can only run optimally with a lot of exercise. Every muscle contraction causes the release of enzymes, hormones and messenger substances that our organism needs to function well. In addition, regular exercise strengthens the muscles , is good for tendons and joints , bones and circulation. It also supports our resistance to stress, curbs our appetite and burns calories. Exercising regularly and a lot and avoiding a lack of exercise is therefore essential for our health.
Lack of exercise, which is mainly caused by long periods of sitting, is one of the main causes of back pain and numerous lifestyle diseases. By developing the Aeris 3D technology, which enables active, natural sitting, Aeris has revolutionized the office world: with measurable effects on muscles, oxygen supply and concentration.
With the active chairs from Aeris, everyone can bring significantly more movement into their everyday life and thus actively do something for their own health.
Why the body wants to move
Metabolism : Exercise keeps the body's internal engine, the metabolism, running. This counteracts the aging process. Because: If the vascular system works, nutrients and oxygen are transported to every single cell and toxins and waste products are removed - this keeps you young.
Heart/circulation : For the cardiovascular system, regular physical activity means a lower risk of heart attack because exercise has a positive effect on fat metabolism and blood pressure. This is good for the blood vessels. If they remain elastic, the heart stays younger because it is less stressed. The good news: you can revitalize the blood vessels! In six to eight weeks, the stiffness of blood vessels that have not yet hardened can be almost returned to normal, including through exercise.
Muscles, joints, fascia : Of course, exercise, as well as a lack of it, has a direct impact on the musculoskeletal system. Adults in industrialized countries spend around 50 to 60 percent of their day sitting. The result: the metabolism slows down, the oxygen content of the blood drops, the muscles weaken, and poor posture occurs. “Nothing works anymore.”
Exercise, on the other hand, trains the muscles, stimulates the circulation, and ensures a better supply of oxygen to all organs. Exercise makes you more efficient in every respect. Impulses from exercise also "fire up" the brain; the network of synapses in the brain is activated by exercise and the blood supply is improved. With exercise, we are more alert, more attentive, and more focused.
What does this mean for everyday working life?
Doing sports in the evening or going for a long walk is great, but sitting all day is particularly dangerous for muscles and joints. They should be in constant motion, which means you should change position as often as possible - more and more experts are therefore recommending dynamic seating and height-adjustable desks.
The active chairs from Aeris are the perfect partner here, because they don't allow you to remain rigid at your desk or "sit" forever. Thanks to the 3D technology developed by Aeris, you are constantly moving minimally - but effectively. This dynamic sitting, including swinging downwards, leads to a natural loading and unloading of the muscles, promotes blood circulation, counteracts the adhesion of the fascia and also keeps the brain activated. The Aeris Muvman standing seat is an important addition to height-adjustable desks. This makes it easy to work sitting and standing or sitting standing at different heights, thus following the advice of doctors after many changes of posture.
How does the special 3D movement work in Aeris products?
Aeris' 3D technology is unique worldwide and has multiple patents. The Aeris Swopper or Aeris 3Dee seat, for example, rests on a steel spring that is combined with a 3D-moving joint in the base of the chair. The spring enables the unique swinging downwards and the compression when standing up, and the joint allows intuitive, spontaneous and self-controlled movements in all directions. Just like when standing and walking naturally. Sitting in an unstable equilibrium requires constant balancing, which involves many muscle groups: in the legs, back and stomach. This way of sitting also automatically encourages you to keep sitting up straight - this gives the internal organs in the abdominal cavity more space, the lungs can develop better, oxygen absorption is promoted and blood circulation throughout the entire organism is stimulated. There is always something moving - and that is healthy.
