About

What Is This Study About? To find out if a short, easy-to-do resistance band workout can help people who work both at home and in the office feel stronger, less stressed, and more productive.

What Can Be learnt?

Can doing resistance band exercises make people physically stronger?
Can it help reduce stress and improve how well people work? How Will the Study Work?

The other group won't change anything in their routine. What Will Participants Do?
A 15-minute resistance band workout three times a week for four weeks
Complete a short strength test and survey before and after the 4 weeks
