MOVEMENT APP
[MOVEMENT LOGO GOES HERE]
JVB Health & Wellness created MOVEMENT, a health & wellness app that turns the steps your wearable already records into a simple daily picture of how you moved — and holds you accountable for two things, not one: your total steps for the day and your movement consistency throughout the day.
MOVEMENT summarizes your activity every hour, every day, in a color-coded chart. Each hour of the day is a box: blue when you were sleeping, orange when you were exercising, green when you moved 300 or more steps, and redwhen you were awake, not exercising, and moved fewer than 300 steps. The goal is simple: as few red hours as possible, and at least 7,000 steps a day.

MOVEMENT counts your red hours and gives you a daily Inactive Hours Score (also called the Movement Consistency Score, or MCS). Lower is better; zero is a perfect day; seven or fewer is the goal. An hour counts as active — and never against you — if:
1. You exercised in it. Easy or hard, steps or no steps, any exercise counts. A swim, a bike ride, a strength session — the hour is yours.
2. You moved 300 or more steps. Three to five minutes of walking is all it takes.
3. You were asleep. Sleep is never held against you, so nobody is tempted to skip sleep to win.
So you always get credit for what you did. If your wearable device misreads an hour, you can fix it yourself: Edit Hours lets you recharacterize any hour right from the dashboard, and Verify Sleep makes sure your sleep is counted. And if your steps aren’t accurate from your wearable device, you can submit a steps adjustment request.
On your wrist, too. The MOVEMENT Apple Watch app shows your steps in the current hour and your total steps for the day right on the watch face, so you always know where you stand — and it taps your wrist before the hour ends if you haven’t moved yet.
MOVEMENT also makes it a game. Join a daily challenge and see how your steps and inactive hours stack up against everyone else. Daily championships are awarded for Steps, Fewest Inactive Hours, and Overall (both combined), overall and within your age division, with season-long standings that keep the competition going all year.
The Importance of Daily Movement Consistency
Why hours instead of just steps? Because many people pile up their steps in one long bout and then sit for the rest of the day — and sitting that long is remarkably unhealthy, even for people who exercise. When you sit for hours at a stretch, your large leg muscles go dormant, the enzyme that clears fat from your blood shuts down, your metabolism slows, and blood-sugar control worsens. Over time that shows up as higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and early death. The fix is small and frequent: exercise in some way, and when you’re not exercising, get up and move a little every hour. MOVEMENT makes that visible, measurable, and something you’ll actually keep doing.
