Exercise Snacks: Desk Breaks
Science-backed movement breaks for desk workers
What it does
Most desk workers know they should move more - but a 5-minute walk feels disruptive. Exercise Snacks prompts you to do 10 bodyweight squats at your desk, every 30–45 minutes. This isn't guesswork. A 2024 randomized trial found 10 squats every 45 min reduces blood glucose by 21% - identical to frequent walking breaks, and double a single 30-min walk. 30 science-backed exercises · 3 reminder modes · compassionate streaks that don't punish rest days.

I am a software developer and in the last few months after recently becoming a father I was barely finding time for a proper workout. Recently I was reading about new research on Snack Exercises and how beneficial mini workouts of less than 2mins every so often, during the day are to our body. So, I decided to build an iOS App for me and others to help with this. The app generates a list of exercises that I need to tick to complete daily or loose my streak. The algorithm takes into account muscle groups and balancing the exercises to hit most main muscles. I also stayed going through all…

Hey we are Computable. We spent years building trading infrastructure at Jump Trading and Coinbase. From that point of view, compute looks like energy markets before 2000: everything trades through private bilateral leases, there’s no visible price, and nothing can be resold. The same H100 rents at a 2x spread depending on who’s asking, and once you sign a 24-month lease, it can never change hands. So we built a market for GPU nodes, sold by the calendar week. Here are three things you can do on it that you can’t do anywhere else: - Buy exactly the weeks you need. Three nodes for the last…
