Key features of the App
Move Minutes – When it comes to health it is important to move more and sit less. The app enables users to earn Move Minutes for all their activities and get motivated to make small healthier changes throughout the day like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or catching up with a friend over a walk instead of a coffee.
Heart Points – Activities that get the heart pumping harder have tremendous
health benefits for the heart and mind. Users will get one heart point for each
minute of moderate activity, like picking up the pace while walking the dog and
double points for more intense activities like running. It takes just 30 minutes of
brisk walking five days a week to reach the AHA and WHO’s recommended
amount of physical activity, which is shown to reduce the risk of heart disease,
improve sleep and increase overall mental well-being.
