Maybe we cannot all play table tennis all day long, but in an ideal world it would be that way. Most of us have to work during the day, and being able to take a break every once in a while is not something to miss out on. Many companies offer up some fun for break time and that includes having a ping pong or table tennis table set up in break areas. Not only do these tables offer up a fun way to spend a fifteen minute break, but they have a lot of other perks as well. So if your employer provides you and your co-workers with the opportunity to get in on the ping pong action, take a break and have some fun.
- Playing ping pong with a co-worker can be a team building exercise. Companies spend a lot of money on team building exercises and activities because it has been proven that teams who work together typically perform fat better than those who do not. When you are playing a rousing game of ping pong, you and your opponent are sharing an experience that will likely create a work bond.
- Just a fifteen minute game of table tennis can burn around 50 calories for an average sized man or woman. A lot of jobs out there require you to be seated while you are working. Whenever you get a chance to move around and stretch those limbs, do it! Table tennis is the perfect way to move around a bit.
- We all have moments where we feel burned out and maybe even bored. It’s times like those when my brain seems to shut down completely. There is an easy fix to get back on track though. Take your break and take your mind off of your work with ping pong. You will come back to your desk feeling rejuvenated and ready to finish your work.
