Try having a contest or competition. See who can hold the plank the longest or stand on one foot the longest. That makes it fun.

  Or it may make people detest your management style even more. I belong to those who cannot stand being coerced into doing some "fun group activity" (whether in office or in a hotel). And when people want to take care of my health in office, why not start with the obvious: * Don't give me a car - give me a bicycle and tickets for public transport. * Give me a shower in office or a membership in a gym nearby. * Invest in good chairs and tables (yes, yes, you all do - until I arrive with my 190cm and suddenly it's .. "we could place some books under the legs of your table!")

    Completely agree about detesting the management style. It's not even actually health focused, it's just showing off like you're at a frat house. 190cm isn't that tall, really. (I'm short). Do you normally have trouble with the standard 30-inch (76-ish cm) desk?

      It's tall enough that I can neither bend me legs to 90 degrees nor use a regular office chair. While 190cm is not this tall, it's just too tall to fit into most industry norms: Beds, bikes, desk & chairs are all made for "slightly smaller" people. The 3cm my armrests are missing in height are exactly those 3cm that my whole upper body will gravitate down so that my arms can rest. 2h later I have a stiff neck, 8h later a sore back.
