I've read some papers and I know how dangerous it is when people keep sitting all day. It's very important to stand up and do some simple exercises. This will not only alleviate neck and back pain but also reduce the risk of premature death. Congrats to your team!

@sebastean_wu You are correct! Sedentary behavior and inactivity is being compared to smoking as the major health risk of this generation. Thank you for your support.

how is it different from just having a simple reminder?

@yourengineerbro Hi Aman, Hability is more customizable than a simple reminder- you can select your work schedule days, and exercise frequency (which a simple reminder may do), but it also sends you specific exercises to complete. The exercises are customizable based on your pain or target area, and what position you would like to exercise in (this may change if working in an office v working from home). I hope that helps, please give it a try- we would appreciate any feedback!

Hey @mark_chawke! This sounds like a fantastic initiative, especially for those of us who are glued to our desks. I'm curious, what specific exercises are included in the app? Also, how do you plan to encourage consistent user engagement? Is there any gamification involved to make it more fun? Looking forward to seeing Hability take off on PH!

Congrats on the launch! As someone who spends hours at a desk, Hability sounds like a much-needed solution :) The idea of getting regular reminders to do quick exercises throughout the day is really good for staying active and avoiding the dreaded neck and back pain. How personalized are the exercise recommendations? Does Hability tailor them based on user preferences or specific pain points?

@nhazdun Hi Nazariy, thank you for your support. To answer your question, yes the exercise recommendations are based on your personal preferences. There are currently 3 target areas to choose from. The "Make me move" area consists of mobility, dynamic stretching and strengthening exercises, so think anything from jumping jacks to planks to lunges etc. The other 2 areas focus on neck or lower back pain, which include both stretches and strengthening exercises. This is very important, as rarely will a physiotherapist prescribe just stretching alone for these issues, there will usually be a combination of strengthening exercises and stretches. I hope that answers your question, please give Hability a try, we would appreciate any feedback! Thanks, Mark

Hey Mark, I'm curious about the types of exercises it recommends. Are they mainly stretches, or do they include more active movements as well? How customizable are the reminders? It would be great if users could set them based on their specific work schedule and break times. Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Hi Kyrylo, thanks for your message! There are currently 3 target areas to choose from. The "Make me move" area consists of mobility, dynamic stretching and strengthening exercises, so think anything from jumping jacks to planks to lunges etc. The other 2 areas focus on neck or lower back pain, which include both stretches and strengthening exercises. This is very important, as rarely will a physiotherapist prescribe just stretching alone for these issues, there will usually be a combination of strengthening exercises and stretches. You can choose more than one target area, to increase the variety of exercises that you will receive. In terms of the reminders, you can set up your work days and work hours, your break time (no notifications), and how often you would like to receive exercises. Hopefully that answers your question, please give Hability a try- we would appreciate any feedback! Thanks!

@winston_appsallset Thank you for the support Winston! As a physiotherapist, I see desk workers on a daily basis who sit for far too long complaining of neck and lower back pain. These people most often understand they sit too long, and have great intentions of moving more, but usually lack in consistency. I look forward to helping these individuals build greater consistency and compliance with moving more regularly throughout the day. I also think for a lot of individuals who do not exercise- helping them incorporate even just a little bit of strengthening will be extremely beneficial! Thanks for the input, please do give Hability a try, we would love to hear what you think!

@mark_chawke Absolutely! It’s tough to stay consistent with movement during a busy workday. I’m looking forward to trying Hability and seeing how this can help me build better habits! :)
