Awards: Winner of the People's Choice Award for the Department of Labor App Challenge! Reached #7 in the Productivity section of the App Store!
Several recent studies have shown that sitting for extended periods of time is detrimental to your health and wellness and can shorten life expectancy. Researchers, wellness experts, and journalists are all coming to the same conclusion: it is extremely beneficial to take short stretch breaks during your work day.
Meanwhile, people are just not moving as much as they used to, especially in the workplace. Instant messaging has replaced walking over to a colleague’s cubicle for a chat. PDFs and online documents have all but replaced trips to the copying machine. Online food delivery sites make it unnecessary to even step out for a lunch break.
Large corporations frequently use desktop software to encourage employees to take workplace breaks because of the strong positive correlation between health and productivity – and now, Ergonomics brings all of the benefits of workplace wellness to you.
WE'RE BRINGING STRETCHING BACK…

Huge update!
We have been working hard for the past year to improve Ergonomics in several ways.
*Removed user accounts - now you can use the Ergonomics app instantly without creating any sort of account. In fact, 100% of your data is stored on your device.
*Added voice prompts - if you prefer, the app will now provide some basic voice prompts to help you complete your stretches without looking.
*Day of week alerts - it is now possible to schedule alerts for specific days of the week. You won’t receive any weekend alerts anymore.
*Design update - the new design is simpler, cleaner, and easier to use.
*Speed improvements - the new app is smaller in size, doesn’t require any sort of network connection, and is faster than ever.
