Struggling to exercise isn't a personal failing

There's nothing strange or wrong about sitting. However, you'll run into trouble if sitting is all you do. 

Only about 20 percent of Americans get the minimum level of exercise, which is 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. 

But the fact that people struggle to exercise isn't' a personal failing. We are doing what we evolved to do, which is to avoid physical activity when it's' neither necessary nor rewarding.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum
