The Animal MovementsTM app is a workplace health tool that motivates us to insert four or more, short 60-second bursts of physical activity into our workday. Making us move about more and behave more like the animals that we are. Improving both our quality of life and our life expectancy.

Short Intense Bites of Movement reduce the detrimental health issues that otherwise silently and insidiously accumulate over 30 to 40 years of prolonged desk-bound inactivity. Reducing the incidence of ‘The Four Horsemen’ – heart attack, stroke, cancer, and neurological conditions such as dementia (see The Silent Assassin).

Be stronger, live Longer. The Animal MovementsTM app contains multi-directional body-conditioning callisthenic exercises that help us as animals to be healthier, fitter, stronger and thus live longer. Once over the age of 60, those of us in the top third strength-wise and who move about more often during the day reduce their all-cause mortality risk by a whopping 54% compared to those in the weaker third who move less frequently.

The Animal Movement was founded in 2020 by movement activist Antony Bush, a New Zealand ex-Olympic physiotherapist and author. While researching for his book The Back Fix, Antony found that the answer not just to the back, neck, hip and knee pain that office workers suffer but to living longer, healthier, happier, less stressed and more productive lives, lies in moving about more regularly during the day.

The science clearly supports this, we cannot postpone exercise to either side of our voluminous, sedentary office hours, we must insert bursts of activity into our workday. Blue-zone longevity studies, and more recently Dr Peter Attia’s well-researched book Outlive – The Science & Art of Longevity, overwhelmingly demonstartes this.

If you are one of the billions of time-poor, sedentary, office workers with low activity levels, then download and use The Animal MovementsTM app. This brilliant little calisthenics app packs a life punch, helping you to be more active and ‘animalistic’ during your workday.

“The people who are healthiest and live the longest are not those who do the most exercise, but rather those who move the most often. Sneaking short bursts of exercise into our workday helps us lead healthier, happier, less stressed, more productive, self-empowered lives.”
