DeskFit
I built DeskFit because I needed it.
I work from home, and I was sitting for three to four hours at a stretch. My lower back paid for it. I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on a physio and an osteopath and still not fixing the problem — I was even exercise and stretching each day. Still my lower back would hurt and blowout if I played an intense game of Padel!
What finally worked was embarrassingly simple: move every 20 minutes, consistently, every day. My osteopath recommended it, and it was a gamechanger. I set an alarm on my phone for every 20 minutes, got up, did some squats and walked around a bit.
The alarm worked, but nothing held me accountable and nothing tracked it. So I built the app I wanted: something that forces me up every 20 or 30 minutes and doesn't let me off until the reps are done.
My back issues have reduced significantly. I can keep playing padel at a high level, and I can hold and pick up my newborn without back discomfort or the feeling that I might give in if I move awkwardly. This app has helped me, and I know it will help millions of others in the same situation.
“We don’t stop moving because we grow old; we grow old because we stop moving.”
George Bernard Shaw“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
Joseph AddisonFrequency over intensity
Ninety seconds every twenty minutes beats an hour at the gym for a body that sits all day.
Accountability, not reminders
A reminder you can dismiss is a reminder you will dismiss. The reps have to be the off switch.
