Many of us get caught up in our work on the computer and forget to take breaks. This can cause Repetitive Strain Injury. But Workrave comes to the rescue!

Workrave is a program for Linux and Windows that assists in the recovery and prevention of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Workrave pops up and prompts you for a "micro break" or a longer exercise break at time intervals you determine. The app will even suggest anti-RSI exercises for your eyes, back and shoulders to help prevent backaches, headaches and carpal tunnel and comes with some nice statistics so you can see how long you have been working in the past days, etc.:
