Finally, an Exercise App Built for Lazy People
Moves tracks daily walking, bike riding, running without any input from the user at all.
The beauty of the physical activity app called Moves is how little physical activity it requires. That's not an accident. The initial prototype had to be turned on and off whenever users wanted to start and stop tracking their movements, says co-founder Sampo Karjalainen of Helsinki, Finland. Yet this tiny amount of effort was more than most people could remember to do.
"That challenged us to think: could there be a way to make it work all the time in the background?" says Karjalainen.
