I don’t know if they have preliminary evidence supporting 5 min/30 min, but compliance will be a predictable problem— especially in many workplaces. A mere 25 minutes of uninterrupted work is not optimal for many tasks. Off work or among the retired maybe. And then of course are categories of professions where sitting is the exception through the day or shift. But, I really think they should have tested the irrl of 10 min/hr first.

more to watch my sleep than my steps, and i’m not particularly prone to acting on the nags.
but it gives a buzz any time i go 50 min w/o 250 steps.
the app says this is based on research, and gives a grid by week of how many hours u moved.

if u r motivated by stuff like that, u shd get 1. but even if, like me, u dont even think about it most of the time, it’s kinda good to look over your stats now and then, and see how u r doing. and maybe forgive yourself for the days u barely make a blip.

i’m at the age where i have 2 choices- work harder or rot.
it’s kind of dumb luck that effective treatment for my fibro FINALLY ALLOWS ME to exercise.
until 2020, i tried over and over to get a good yoga practice going. it took such a bite out of my day to do the yoga, then get over it. sooo many times i zonked out on my mat.
finally in a place where i get that endorphin shot.

also- a puppy helps. i’m not every thing my hot lips deserves, but i do try.
i rarely back down from a fight. i’m winning this 1.

I may need to get in app like that.
