Get Up - Work Break Timer1.1 - App Store

Get Up - Work Break Timer will help you take those short, but important "activity breaks" during your work day.

Sitting too much is dangerous to your health! It's been said that "sitting is the new smoking" it raises the risk of many diseases. Movement is important and the good news is that even short ACTIVE breaks are beneficial. Yes, the chair IS a killer! So take a break every 20-30 minutes. Get up and move your feet - and your body! - for a minute or two (or more if you have the time). Your body will thank you for it!

How to use this app:

Imagine the 9 squares on the floor and follow the moving feet (and hands) on the screen. You can do the activity breaks with or without the BALANCE option (when shown on the screen; balance on one foot) and with or without the HANDS option (when shown on the screen; bend down to touch the floor with your hand).

First:
