I have back problems, so I need to be careful not to sit longer than 20 minutes or so at a time (well, 30 works fine these days). Since I started working from home, I listen to vinyl records while working, so that forces me to get up to change sides or get another record. They're very short breaks, but so far they've helped keep in check the back pain resulting from sitting too long.

Oh, on my personal computer, since I usually listen to music from my server (no sides to change, etc), I use Parallels Toolbox. The newest version has a "Take a break" feature. I set it to 30 minutes.
