## Ready-to-use descriptions

**One sentence (~25 words):** Pyup spreads short exercise "snacks" through your workday — a few push-ups every half hour beat a workout you’ll never do.

**Short paragraph (~50 words):** Twenty minutes of push-ups in the morning? Pass. Pyup breaks a daily goal into short, reasonable exercise pauses spread across your day — combating prolonged sitting without disturbing your flow. Snooze a break, reschedule it, and just do better tomorrow.

**Full paragraph (~100 words):** Pyup spreads short exercise breaks into your day, effortlessly combating the harmful effects of prolonged sitting. Pick a daily goal; Pyup breaks it into a series of pauses — every 30 minutes, say, at 1 to 10 repetitions each — and reminds you at your desk. It is built on consistency over intensity: well-known movements with no mental overload, snooze-friendly reminders that respect your flow, and a forgiving attitude when yesterday didn’t happen. Made for remote workers, students, people with ADHD, and anyone whose chair sees too much of them. Free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

## About

20 minutes of push-ups in the morning? PASS! Short active breaks during the day? YES, PLEASE!

Pyup spreads short exercise breaks into your day, effortlessly combating the harmful effects of prolonged sitting. Do you ever feel like you sit at your desk for hours on end without moving? Pyup has got your back — literally.
### Prolonged sitting is the new smoking

- Chronic health conditions: type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity
- Poor posture leads to back problems, neck pain, and other musculoskeletal issues
- Reduced metabolism: blood sugar regulation, body-fat breakdown, blood pressure
- Mental health: increased risks of depression and anxiety
### So easy you’ll actually do it

- Pick a daily goal
- Pyup breaks it up into a series of pauses (e.g. every 30 min) of reasonable difficulty (e.g. 1 to 10 repetitions)
- Sit at your desk and wait for the reminder
### Consistency over intensity

No mental overload: only well-known movements, so you always know what to do and get on with it. Some workout is better than no workout — and it can be more: keep Pyup for light exercise outside your regular training, or turn it into intense sessions. Not a good time? Snooze it, reschedule it. Skipped yesterday? Just do better today.

## Features

- Forgiving by design: no streak guilt, just do better today
