About this app

Stand up and do 10 squats every 45 minutes to stay fit while you sit. Squats Buddy is your digital buddy reminder app that helps you take a work break and fight a sedentary lifestyle by doing squats workouts.

What Is The Problem?
We are more sedentary than ever, and that is hurting our health.

What Is The Solution?

Why Squats?
- A recent scientific study found that 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes during an 8-hour workday improve blood sugar more effectively than a 30-minute walk.
- Squats are one of the best bodyweight and glutes workouts to improve blood sugar, strengthen glutes and legs, and improve posture.
- They're quick, effective, and can be done anywhere — even at your home or desk.

Ratings and reviews

Almost great. The problem currently is that it has a bug where the times are sometimes duplicated for the times I already completed. Also no option to set less interval than 45 minutes. It would be perfect if there was other simple exercises too, like pushups.

so far it's a good app except for the reminders. I have allowed notifications but they do not appear at all unless I open the app. I am not doing the squats unless I happen to remember to which the notifications were supposed to take care of the thinking part.

So far so good! However, can you allow us to pick the notification type? Such as sound, in the system status bar, etc? And allow us to select the sound used for the notification? Thank you!
