Sitting is not bad. It is a normal, useful thing to do. What health researchers keep noticing is that very long stretches without moving at all tend to go along with feeling stiff and low on energy, and over many years are associated with some health risks. The encouraging part is that small amounts of movement seem to help, and they do not have to be hard.

That is your body saying it would like a change of position, nothing more dramatic than that.

Breaking up long sitting with a little movement tends to help. A minute of stretching, a walk to refill your water, a few arm swings, or a silly dance all count.

That is what Wakeout is for. Tap Move Now and you get a quick, playful move picked from the kinds of moves you chose, including seated ones you can do right where you are. There is no quota to hit.
