Movement microbreaks can help students focus and improve productivity and motivation, as well as stimulate nerve cell growth in the hippocampus, the center of learning and memory. Movement is directly linked to decision making capabilities, divergent thought, collaboration, trust, and creative idea generation.
Breakthru gives students the space to help them move through and think about their feelings; it's a chance to check in with themselves and each other. Movement microbreaks alleviate anxiety and improve mental and physical wellness.
Students have access to screen time 24 hours a day. Adding movement microbreaks throughout the day to break up time spent sedentary improves overall health and wellness. Breakthru helps turn what is most likely a sedentary habit into a movement habit and encourages a healthier lifestyle.
“It just gets you active, reminds you, but it makes it fun. And the best part, it’s only two minutes. Two minutes is ideal. It’s something to get the kids moving.”
