Built for the gap between meetings

A smaller ask is easier to repeat.

Exercise 1 Min is not a condensed workout plan. It is a quick interruption to uninterrupted sitting: open the app, follow a handful of movements, and carry on.

  • Desk-first by default. Floor movements stay out unless you opt in.
  • Your pace, not a stopwatch. Previous, next, replace, and finish when you choose.
  • Progress without pressure. See breaks, minutes, and streaks—not calories or rankings.

Try the idea

Your next desk-friendly minute.

Here is a five-move routine generated with the same product rule as the app: no floor exercises unless you ask for them, no repeats, and no countdown.

  • Move in order or replace the whole set
  • Each timed move is 10 seconds
  • Stop anytime if something feels wrong

    How it works

    The smallest useful loop.

    1. 01

      A reminder with bite

      Choose every 1, 2, or 3 hours and your active window. A savage roast arrives locally; start, snooze, or pause the rest of the day.

    2. 02

      A routine that fits

      Open the exact routine you previewed. Follow each illustrated move at your pace, replace one if needed, and never race a countdown.

    3. 03

      Back to your day

      Finish and log one honest movement break. Your breaks, minutes, and gentle streak grow—without calories, leaderboards, or guilt.

    FAQ

    Clear answers, no fine print.

    The app is still in development. Its core behavior and privacy model are already defined.

    What is Exercise 1 Min?

    Exercise 1 Min is a coming-soon mobile app for short movement breaks. It builds a desk-friendly routine, guides each move without a countdown, and gets you back to your day.

    Do I need equipment or a gym?

    No. Routines use bodyweight movements you can do at home or work. Floor exercises are optional and off by default, so the standard routine is easy to do beside a desk.

    How often should I take an exercise break?

    You choose the rhythm. The app can remind you every 1, 2, or 3 hours during the hours you select, and you can snooze or skip any reminder.

    Is Exercise 1 Min private?

    Yes. The mobile app works fully offline with no accounts, analytics, sign-up, or network calls. Your settings and exercise history stay on your device.

    Is the minute a countdown?

    No. “One minute” is a promise that the break is quick, not a timer you have to beat. You move through the illustrated routine with previous and next controls at your own pace.

    Is Exercise 1 Min free?

    The core app is planned to be free, with no ads, subscriptions, or upsell during the moment you are meant to move.

    When will the app be available?

    Exercise 1 Min is coming soon for iOS and Android. This page will be updated when the app is ready to download.
