ADD MOVEMENT—SITTING IS THE NEW SMOKING

It can be a challenge to get people to sit and listen right after lunch. Here are some strategies we use to engage participants and charge the room with energy. The term energizer is popular in the facilitation industry, but we do not like to use it. We feel it is disrespectful because it implies that people are dragging. Instead, we like to use the term opener. You do need some space to play these games. So remember the rule to use a room that is large enough to hold twice the number of people you have booked.

People think better when they are moving because blood flows to their brains. And research is showing just how important it is to incorporate regular movement into everyday life. Many of us spend long hours at a desk, which then puts us at an increased risk for some very serious health conditions, including cancer and heart disease. Sitting really is the new smoking.
