Built a free tool to help desk workers do "exercise snacks" - the research convinced me this is underrated for longevity

I've spent 20 years building tech companies (chess ed-tech, social games, now AI). After my last exit I finally had time to dig into the longevity research - and one thing kept jumping out at me: exercise snacks.

The data is compelling. Dr. Rhonda Patrick summarises it well - brief movement breaks (2x 1-3 mins throughout the day) significantly reduce cancer and cardiovascular mortality risk. Not just "sitting is bad" but that these micro-doses of movement have outsized impact compared to a single gym session.

The problem: nobody actually does them. We sit at desks for 8+ hours, get absorbed in work, and forget to move until our back screams at us.

So I built My Exercise Snacks - a free Chrome extension that reminds you to take brief movement breaks and gamifies consistency (XP, streaks, ranks). Nothing revolutionary, just solving the behaviour change problem.

The exercises:

• 10 squats

• 30 sec plank

• 1 min stretch

• 10 push ups

• Face pulls (for the posture-wrecked among us)
  

Why I think this is underrated in longevity circles:

Most longevity discussion centres on supplements, fasting protocols, or intensive training. But the research suggests these brief daily movement interventions may offer better risk reduction per minute invested than almost anything else - especially for knowledge workers who sit 8-10 hours daily.

Curious what this community thinks. Anyone else tracking exercise snacks as part of their longevity protocol?
