We all know sitting is the new smoking. If you need a reminder to get up every so often, this app will do it (but it’s still up to you to actually pay attention to the reminder and MOVE!!!). This app is simple, lightweight, lives in my task bar and does what it is intended to do. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I work remotely and am also a yoga teacher. My day is partially sedentary and partially active. During the sedentary periods, which can span 4-8 hours, I have Recess set to give me a 7 minute break after every 33 minutes of seated work. During my 7 minutes, I stretch, clean something, do a small domestic chore, pet my dog, whatever so long as I am not sitting. 7 minutes is actually a good amount of time. I was able to put all my laundry away and clean a few plates in 7 minutes. There is also research about how frequent breaks are necessary. This unstructured time is necessary for your mind to process. Think of the short breaks during the day as data defragging. Your mind will be better structured and run more effeciently with frequent breaks without work.
