TAKE A MINUTE® FAQ
Answers to some of the most common questions about TAM®
How is TAM® different from other online exercise programs?
TAKE A MINUTE® is not a fitness program. The movements and habits that TAKE A MINUTE® teaches are based on deep understanding of the body and mind connection. TAM movements bring relief, rejuvenate the body and improve circulation to promote the best possible mental and physical state. The TAM objective is different than muscle strengthening or building aerobic capacity per se. Its goal is a sense of vitality during the workday. TAKE A MINUTE® video collections are a support system. These simple-to-do exercises can help any worker of any age or body type to feel restored, rejuvenated, more energetic and refreshed.
Does TAM® work for individuals with physical limitations?
If you can’t do the full movement, descriptive movement modifications are provided within the videos. Everyone’s body is different, and TAKE A MINUTE® is for every body. Our video sets are presented visually and with verbal guidance. They are designed to work whether in the office or working remotely, in back-to-back meetings or on video calls all day; whether in the midst of working with patients or otherwise standing on your feet all day or fully confined to work in a chair.
Is TAM® easy to set up and use?
As TAM users become familiar with the various TAM videos, they can choose from among them whenever they need a positive intervention to refresh energy. If desired, alerts can be set as reminders for a TAM break. Each user learns to recognize his or her personal signs that a TAM reset is needed – things like stiff neck and shoulders, itchy eyes, or difficulty concentrating. The number of resets needed to restore energy and productivity – in one minute or several minutes – is up to each person!
