Editorial Review of Stretch Break
If you're at all concerned about the toll computer use is taking on your body, Stretch Break will remind you when to stretch and will guide you through useful stretches. This full-featured, 10-day evaluation copy includes an amazing number of configurable options that let you personalize your stretches.
Stretch Break's best feature is its animated figures that demonstrate the stretches. The 3-D figures are slightly strange-looking (some are even creepy), but that's easy to overlook. They also represent people of various ethnicities and ages. This version adds music, too, all of which is New Age-y, but relaxing. Thankfully, you can turn it off if you don't want to hear it.
The program is extremely flexible (no pun intended) -- you can set which stretches you do and the order in which you do them. It also includes text-based Ergo Hints (reminders about proper ergonomics).
On the downside, Stretch Break doesn't lock you out of your screen, a feature some computer addicts may need. And there's only one type of stretch (for X minutes/stretches every Y minutes of computer use), as opposed to a couple different levels. For example, some people benefit from shorter stretch breaks every 5 minutes followed by longer stretch breaks every 50 minutes.
