  Pros

  Hi, I checked out the other timed break programs and no question that Ergociser has the right idea. Basic 'alarm' timing for breaks but, the suggested exercises are great, simple with instructions. I have not yet had a duplicate exercise & fun

  Cons

  Yes, the animation could be better and the overall graphics cleaner but, really, if you are looking for an alarm/timed break piece of software with a variety of exercises to help you not to be a complete office chair potato, this is the one.

  Summary

  Great, simple. The developer's vision is right on target. Does what it says and the only one for free I found, and I tested a bunch. that is complete and compact in giving you an automatic alarm/timed break mechanism built-in with dozens and dozens of mini-exercising. These type of 'forced' breaks also have a key benefit of cleaning out your brain of accumulated junk to be able to have a better clarity of purpose.

  Pros

  I like that you can set the intervals and choose which stretch to do depending on what part of your body is bothering you.

  Cons

  The demonstrations are a bit choppy.

  Summary

  Easy to install, and user friendly.

• Good, but needs development

  Pros

  An excellent idea, ability to set timed notices to get up and stretch. It really is useful in days where lots of us sit at our computers day in day out getting stiff. The stretches open as a link in your browser and you can follow them. Good idea, good exercises, overall: nice.

  Cons

  It's looks really need work. Technically it works nicely but it's interface, the exercise pages online, everything is just completely unattractive. Just a bit of tweaking in this department and it can get a full 5 stars from me.
