***Desk Job? Sit too Long and Often? Did you know sitting can be deadly in the long run?
********* StandApp Helps Combat "Sitting Disease" ********
Millions of Americans lead sedentary lifestyles (sitting for 9+ hours a day) due to desk jobs, or inactivity. Recent studies performed by the CDC(Center for Disease Control and Prevention) suggest that sedentary lifestyles lead to a host of health risks.
These risks include; obesity, cardiovascular disease, poor cholesterol, high blood pressure, breast and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, and overall higher mortality rate. Due to the high health risks of compounded extended sitting, its time for people to take a pro-active approach to maintaining a healthy and active life.
StandApp promotes healthy living by providing an alarm reminder to stand up and take a break from your desk.
StandApp includes 15 easy exercises anyone can perform at their desk during their standing breaks.
You can set the reminder interval to a custom time, we recommend a break at least every hour.
Experts say avoiding the sedentary life is mostly about remembering to be active. Even people who work a desk job for 60 hours each week can still work movement into their days — getting up for a cup of water instead of keeping one at your desk, walking down the hall to talk to a colleague rather than sending an email. StandApp keeps you accountable to this task.
Latest reviews of StandApp Pro app for iPhone and iPad
This a great idea, but it would be better if it worked in landscape mode. Louder and different alarms would be nice too. I never hear the alarm and cant find any support online.
This App has been a lifesaver (well actually a neck and shoulder saver). We all know we should get up and one around but it is hard to remember when you are concentrating on a project. I have mine set to remind me every 30 minutes. The videos are great. One feature I would like to have is to be able to set how StandApp alerts you when it is time to stand up!
I really was excited when I heard about this app and anxious to try it....downloaded (and paid for the pro version) several times and still could not get the application to perform ...so bummed about this
I like the concept and the exercise videos, but the app gets stuck on Ankle Stretch every few days (even when that exercise is removed from the list) and only way I have found to reset is to delete and reinstall app.
I like the app. It is easy to use and simple. I have two suggestion. Add a 45 minute interval or more interval options.
