Simon Says FOR MAC

Simon Says

Simon Says, which used to be called Sluggard, is a handy little app that pops up reminders to get you moving while you're working at your computer. It's easy to forget to take breaks when you're focused on a task, but this app sends alerts that challenge you to do simple exercises. These range from climbing stairs and doing crunches to push-ups and pull-ups!

Why Get Up?

Sitting all day can really mess with your health over time. It can lead to issues like diabetes, heart disease, or even obesity. But don't worry! Just getting up once an hour for a few easy exercises can boost your blood flow and improve your health chances.

How Simon Says Works

The main goal of Simon Says is to keep you active throughout the day. You can set it up with exercises you want to do at different times. When it's time for a break, the app will give you a nudge! Plus, it has a cool History panel where you can track what you've done.

Personalize Your Experience

You can customize the app in the Preferences section. Here, you tell it about your fitness level, age, and gender. You can also decide how often you want reminders—whether that's every 30 minutes or longer intervals like 90 or 120 minutes.

Create Your Exercise List

Want specific exercises? No problem! You can create a list of preferred workouts right in the app. The exercises are prioritized based on their effectiveness against sitting too much. Think squats, lunges, plank holds, and more!

Track Your Progress

When you get an alert for an exercise challenge, you'll have options: skip it or log how many reps you've done. This data goes into your History panel so you can see how active you've been each day.

Your Health Matters

In short, Simon Says is all about helping fight what some call “sitting disease.” By reminding you to move around and suggesting easy workouts, it helps support a healthier lifestyle over time.
