Exercise Snacks for Health & Wellbeing
Two minutes. Every hour. That's all it takes.
Exercise Snacks reminds you to move for just 2 minutes every hour with voice-coached routines you can do anywhere — at your desk, in bed, on a plane, or in a wheelchair.
Science shows that brief movement breaks improve blood sugar, blood pressure, energy, mood, and cardiovascular fitness. And because each snack is only 2 minutes, you'll actually do it.
60+ VOICE-COACHED EXERCISES
A friendly voice guides you through every movement. No equipment needed. No changing clothes. No gym.
SPECIALIZED FOCUS AREAS

- Tai Chi — Slow, flowing movements for balance, calm, and morning energy. Now includes Qigong-inspired warm-up flows

Well done. Reminders prompts work well! And the exercise snacks are very good, targeted to an area that’s really helpful and helpful especially when you are behind a desk all day. And it’s fun to do !
Great for busy moms
No more counting sheep
As a mom of two small humans getting an hour of exercise is nearly impossible. This helps me put my body first.
Love it
