Like a lot of people with desk jobs, I sit for 8+ hours every day. Even with a nice chair and a standing desk, I started gaining weight, and my neck started hurting. I tried standing at my desk or taking breaks, but often I get so focused on work that I forget. The other day, I found out a recent study: 10 squats every 45 minutes during your workday is more effective than one 30-minute walk for glucose regulation. Link to study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38629807/ So I made a tiny app that nudges you to stand up and do 10 squats every 45 minutes. It’s simple, but honestly, it’s been helping me feel more active and less stiff during the workday. If you are interested, you can download it here: https://linktr.ee/squatsbuddy PS. The app is free, still in beta, so I would be happy to hear your feedback and improve the app based on it.   submitted by   /u/Zookey100 [link]   [comments]
