Based on scientific studies this Malmö based startup app is designed to improve well-being as well as increase your fitness level.

The aim is to do 7 minutes of daily exercise using a range of different exercises for 30 seconds with 10 seconds of rest between each segment. The workout routines range from the Apple Butt - consisting of 12 exercises to achieve the prettiest and pert toosh and the Freestyle Workout giving you control of what workouts you choose to do.
Yoga Wakeup
The aim is to replace your wakeup alarm with a gentle audio-guided Yoga workout and meditation in bed, to give each morning that relaxing and happier start we all crave!

There are also some cool tips on the company blog to help you create a sanctuary within the home and tips on how to kick stress during lockdown.
