A Two-Minute Pause Between Online Meetings
Choose a seated change, standing pause or brief walk between meetings, with suitable support and room to address a calendar without breaks.

If you have a short gap between online meetings, step away from the task when you can. You might stand, change your seated position or take a brief walk. The pause does not have to include a workout, a breathing exercise or a search for classes.
Choose what fits your mobility and the available room. Standing is optional, and there is no promise that two minutes will reset your concentration.
Use the gap without rushing
After the call ends, put down anything you do not need to keep holding. If standing is comfortable and you can do so with your usual support, get up at a manageable pace. Check the space and return to your seat with control.
Do not lean on a rolling office chair for balance. If you need support or assistance to stand, use what is already appropriate for you. Our office-chair standing-break guide explains why chair brakes alone are not enough to establish suitable exercise support.
If you remain seated, adjust to a comfortable position and give your hands a break from the keyboard or mouse. You do not need to add a stretch for the change to be worthwhile.
Keep the next meeting in view
A two-minute gap includes the time to finish one task and join the next. Leave enough time to move without hurrying. A clear route nearby may suit a short walk; a stair circuit or unfamiliar exercise usually adds more preparation than the gap allows.
If the previous call runs over, you can skip the movement. Do not rush a transfer or postpone an immediate care need to preserve a streak.
Address a calendar with no breaks
OSHA's workstation guidance includes varying tasks and taking short pauses from prolonged computer work. If meetings leave no workable gaps, discuss shorter meeting lengths, shared note-taking or another suitable change with the organiser.
Repeatedly having no chance to pause is a scheduling problem. A more elaborate micro-routine cannot create missing time.
Know the limits
A change of position does not correct every workstation problem or replace the different activities in a weekly exercise plan. It is also not a treatment for recurring pain or dizziness.
Stop if movement causes discomfort, numbness, dizziness or unsteadiness. Seek appropriate clinical advice for new, persistent or worsening symptoms rather than using each meeting gap to test them again. You can choose a seated pause or rest without needing to progress to standing later.
