\"Stand<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know how you learn about new apps for your phone, but I tend to hear about them from my friends.\u00a0 My new favorite is no exception.<\/p>\n

My day job involves a ton of sitting and we all know that isn’t good for you.\u00a0 My work friend J told me about an app called Stand Up, the work break timer by\u00a0Raised Square LLC<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0 It’s free (always good) and it alerts you to stand up according to whatever timeframe you want.<\/p>\n

You can set it to remind you from every five minutes to two hours.\u00a0\u00a0It can be\u00a0set up to work in certain locations only, but I haven’t used that feature yet.<\/p>\n

I set mine to every 45 minutes, Mon-Fri, during normal work hours.\u00a0\u00a0I try to actually walk around, not just stand up, when I get my alert.\u00a0 I feel like I don’t get as stiff during the day (from sitting for long periods of time).\u00a0 If you can’t stand up at that particular moment (maybe you are in a meeting), you can snooze the alert.\u00a0 The app tells you how many minutes until your next alert.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty flexible in the days of the week, hours and intervals you want your reminders set for. There is an upgrade for 99 cents,\u00a0which I believe gives you additional sounds, but I haven’t purchased.<\/p>\n

I like that it is a really simple concept to enforce a behavior I want to continue.\u00a0 I give it two strong thumbs up!<\/p>\n

Do you use this app? Are you going to try it now? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!<\/p>\n
