Home-based teleworking, associated with sedentary behavior, may impair self-reported
adult health status. Current exercise recommendations, based on universal recipes, may be insufficient or even misleading to promote healthy teleworking. From the Network Physiology of Exercise
perspective, health is redefined as an adaptive emergent state, product of dynamic interactions
among multiple levels (from genetic to social) that cannot be reduced to a few dimensions. Under
such a perspective, fitness development is focused on enhancing the individual functional diversity
potential, which is better achieved through varied and personalized exercise proposals. This paper
discusses some myths related to ideal or unique recommendations, like the ideal exercise or posture, and the contribution of recent computer technologies and applications for prescribing exercise
and assessing fitness. Highlighting the need for creating personalized working environments and
strengthening the active contribution of users in the process, new recommendations related to teleworking posture, home exercise counselling, exercise monitoring and to the roles of healthcare and
exercise professionals are proposed. Instead of exercise prescribers, professionals act as co-designers
that help users to learn, co-adapt and adequately contextualize exercise in order to promote their
somatic awareness, job satisfaction, productivity, work–life balance, wellbeing and health.
