As a developer, I spend 8 hours a day in front of my desk. I started to have back pain and needed someone to remind me to take a break.
Break reminder app already existed, but no app actually took you by the hand and guided through some stretching exercises.
That's why I build Motion Minute.

Value addition through meditation, calming music and also brain exercises (physical activities done on the chair) are what I can suggest to make the offering more wholesome. Good luck!

@varun_bhagath good idea. I heard meditation already in another comment. Maybe that's the next thing on my list.
Congrats with the launch, cool idea! Are you planning any integration with Apple watch? That's what I'm using now for my stand up and move reminders.

@edmundas_eddy good idea - how would you connect it with the workouts?

Love it! I used to have a reminder set to tell me to move my … but this is awesome as I can get even more ideas what I should actually do right now! Love the shake to delay idea so I can finish an important task! So far I have done quite a few motion minute breaks and enjoy it. Any plans on extending the exercises?
That’s a super cool concept! Would you add a meditation break session to it?

@tonyabracadabra that is a good idea. How often would you like to have it popup. I guess it should be on a different time schedule than the other exercises.
@felix_eckhardt Since I took just 3-5 min quick meditation (which I still forget all the time) to recover energy, so I think it can be appended to your existing session as an additional perk!
I was looking for an app to help me take breaks at my desk, and Motion Minute has been great for that. It reminds me to pause and relax, especially helping with shoulder tension. And I don't need to look on my smartphone anymore ...
Plus: The new update added six new exercises, which I really like.
Nice App. Was looking for something like a reminder because I sit at the deck all day. Its pretty simple and has a clean layout. Will continue to use it. Some stats would be nice to keep me motivated.
