I'm currently building a service for exactly this. It's still in Alpha but it allows you to take short 4-5min breaks with friends (+ voice chat) with instructed stretches + strength exercises. https://www.pausewith.me

As I said, still in Alpha, but I'm always happy for constructive feedback.

Marketing idea: make this work in Slack and sell it to HR departments for employee wellness.

That's the plan :) It currently links to Telegram, but next up is Slack integration.

How do you get past the 'before starting any workout regiment consult your doctor' most workout programs use to make sure you aren't taking on liability in a corporate environment? Especially doing things like good mornings for an older non-mobile person man, that looks like a ton of liability to me.

Corporate added a morning stretch routine on our factory signage and I had to point out we had to be SUPER conservative on the stretches we had people do because making it a corporate thing meant we took on a ton of liability.

This is interesting. I would like to mention: don't forget students in your future subscription model!

As a new (but middle aged) CS student I think this could be a fun way to encourage my fellow students and myself to exercise more between study sessions.

OT: Nice site! Also built with Svelte, it seems.

Yup. Built with Svelte & Supabase.

I REALLY like the name, sounds like fun!
