Hello Product Hunt! This is the first project I share in this community, so I hope you will give me some feedback!
The idea for Random Exercise came from my own need. I have read a lot of scientific reports on how unhealthy it is to sit for too long periods at a time. Other reports state that physical activity is crucial for our brain to function properly. Physical activity has been shown to increase the productivity and creativity of test subjects. Still, many people spend most of their day sitting at their desks all day.
Random Exercise is designed to reduce as much resistance to exercising as possible. Visiting the page instantly gives you a suggestion for an exercise. There are no distractions on the page and the exercises are shown with autoplaying videos. You don’t have to choose exercise, you don’t have to press any “play” button.
The exercises are randomly chosen in order to reduce the monotony of exercising that might scare some people away. The animations are also designed with a diversity perspective, showing people of different age, gender, race and body shape. This is partly to make the experience of using the site more interesting, and partly to give the visitor a chance to personally connect with the characters.
I would love to get some feedback on this idea. The page right now is as simple as it can get, and maybe it should stay that way, or would it be more useful with more features? Should there be more exercises, more characters, a timer button, notifications, or something else that could improve the concept? Is the whole idea too simple and unoriginal? Looking forward to hearing from you!
