Break Pal Cardio
$49.95 - Break Pal

Avoid the desk job body. Stay in shape right at your desk. Break Pal teaches a new soft style exercise every 30 minutes to keep you in shape, healthy. Moves that will focus on a certain muscle group and get your heart rate up. Once you learn the move through the simple video instruction, you then will move on to the next screen where you will do the move at a faster pace until you feel you've raised your heart rate and sustained it to your goal.

This whole process is anywhere from 2-5 minutes depending upon desired results. A timer will track your progress and you can build up to longer durations.

By getting up from your desk and getting a few minutes of exercise, you'll feel better and increase your metabolism. You'll also greatly reduce the strain that sitting at a desk for long periods puts on your body.

This will also boost productivity. Exercise always does. You'll get more done in a day by taking a few minutes out every half hour.

It's also a well known fact that exercise is cumulative. Exercising for three minutes every thirty minutes for an eight hour work day will give you the same results as doing a forty five minute aerobics class, with no driving to the gym.

The full version has Twenty seven lessons which will work every part of your body. It's really the easiest way I know of to get in shape.

Stay stress free and productive by keeping this program running in the background. Helps prevent Repetitive strain injuries and all other problems associated with sitting at a computer too long

SmartBreak
$19.95 - InchWest

SmartBreak is a revolutionary ergonomics program that reminds you to take breaks when working on a PC for long hours. Unlike similar programs which remind you to take breaks at fixed intervals, SmartBreak actually monitors the way you spend time on a PC and then prompts you to rest at the appropriate time. This effectively means that you can spend more time in front of a PC with very efficient break time utilization.

Spending a great deal of time on a computer poses many health hazards. Two of the most common ones are Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) and Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). While the former causes eye strain, deterioration of eyesight and dry eyes, the later causes neck, back and wrist pains. While there are many conflicting theories as to how computers affect health, everyone agrees on one common fact that taking frequent breaks when using computers is the ultimate solution to tackle this problem.

SmartBreak is the only RSI prevention program that not just reminds you to take breaks but can also enforce users to take a break, which is especially useful for kids when combined with the child lock option.

Spam Strainer
$0 - Roland Waddilove

Junk email, or spam as it is called, has become a huge problem for everyone that uses the internet. Every day dozens or even hundreds of unwanted email clogs up our inboxes and the problem is getting worse. It is both tedious and time consuming having to check all the messages that arrive, decide whether they are useful or not, and delete the junk. Spam Strainer is designed to help keep your POP3 email inbox clear of junk email messages. It does this by checking your email server to see what messages are waiting. It then marks the ones it thinks are spam and with a click of a button, they are all deleted for you. You can then run your email program and retrieve the remaining messages - the ones you actually want. Several techniques are used to identify spam and in addition to these, you can define rules, blacklists, and whitelists. Rules look for keywords and phrases commonly used in spam, blacklists are used to block known senders of spam, and whitelists are used to ensure that your friends, relatives, and business contacts always get through and are never classed as spam. Note: Spam Strainer works with POP3 accounts and not Web-based email like Hotmail.
