Hourly Challenge

Do you spend too many hours sitting down? With Hourly Challenge you can avoid sitting for too long and keep active throughout the day.

When you break up your workouts throughout the day, you keep your body moving all day instead of lumping it all into one workout session. This makes exercising more manageable and makes it difficult to go weeks without working out because you "couldn't make it" to the gym.


Alarm Notification Feature:

You can set an Alarm Range up to 16 hours. Every hour, on the Start Time minute, you will receive a Notification, just like a text message, email, or Twitter notification. If you accept the Hourly Challenge, then you will be sent to the Challenges page. If you're busy, you can dismiss the notification.

The Alarm Notification feature works over any 16 hour period, day or night. If you have a regular schedule you can set the Alarm Range once and never worry about setting it again. But if you're schedule changes often, you can easily Delete the Alarm Range and set a new one within seconds.

You should aim for completing at least 10 Challenges throughout the day including one of the longer cardio challenges. Medical professionals say you should be exercising for at least 150 minutes per week. That breaks down to 22 minutes per day. With Hourly Challenge, you can easily hit that goal and go beyond it. Here's an example:

8 Challenges (Pushups, each 1 minute) and 2 Cardio Challenges (Walk for 10 minutes and Walk for 5 minutes) = 10 Challenges and 23 minutes

12 Challenges (Situps, each 1 minute) and 2 Cardio Challenges ( Run for 10 minutes and Walk for 30 minutes) = 14 Challenges and 52 minutes

When you break up your workouts throughout the day, you keep your body moving all day instead of lumping it all into one workout session. This makes exercising more manageable and makes it difficult to go weeks without working out because you "couldn't make it" to the gym.
