Tokyo: At the stroke of 1.00pm, a group of Tokyo IT workers spring from their desks for a few minutes of rigorous bending, stretching and thrusting as a voice on the radio instructs them – “ichi, ni, san (one, two, three)”.

The suited staff are taking part in a regular callisthenics drill implemented by Adoc International, while over at electrical equipment firm Fujikura, the staff can be seen dangling from multi-coloured monkey bars.
