Up Ya Get

A friendly shove out of your chair.

A short walk. A set of swings. Five minutes on the bike. Up Ya Get makes those small moments easier to fit into your day, with an exercise list you choose and a reminder that knows when you are on a break.

The movement side of Tally has moved here. Tally stays focused on your work and timesheets.

Small breaks. A more active day.

Short bursts of activity spread through the day are often called exercise snacks. A walk around the office or a few comfortable bodyweight movements can make movement easier to fit around work. Up Ya Get helps you remember those moments and keep track of what you do.

Researchers have tested what happens when people interrupt long stretches of sitting. Here are three findings worth knowing:

• Post-meal blood sugar. In a trial with 24 inactive adults with type 2 diabetes, three minutes of light walking or simple resistance movements every 30 minutes reduced glucose and insulin responses after meals compared with uninterrupted sitting. The movements included half-squats and calf raises. Read Dempsey and colleagues' 2016 trial.
• Blood pressure. A Columbia University trial with 11 middle-aged and older adults found lower systolic blood pressure during a day with short walking breaks. Five minutes every 30 minutes was the only tested schedule that significantly reduced the overall glucose response that day. Read Duran and colleagues' 2023 trial.
• Feeling more energetic. In a trial with 24 healthy adults, two minutes of brisk walking every 20 minutes increased self-reported energy. Cognitive test performance did not improve. Read Kuo and colleagues' study, published in 2024.

These were small studies of specific movement routines, mostly measuring short-term effects. They do not establish that every kind of micro set has the same benefits or that Up Ya Get improves health outcomes.

Make room for a little movement.

Choose an interval that fits your day, add activities that suit your ability, and adjust or skip a suggestion when you need to. A short walk, comfortable calf raises or gentle mobility work can be a starting point.

Movement breaks can complement your regular exercise. Up Ya Get provides reminders and activity records; it is not medical advice or a personalised exercise prescription.

Your day, at your pace.

1. Start your day. Clock in when you are ready, or adjust the start if you began earlier.
2. Take a break when you need one. Breaks pause the countdown. End break picks up where you left off.
3. Up ya get. Get a varied suggestion from your own exercise list. Complete it, swap it, snooze it or skip it.
4. See what adds up. Log exercises and other activities, then review your history and totals.
5. End your day. Stop the reminders until you are ready to start again.

One account. Room to move.

Create an account in the web preview to manage your moves, start your day and record activity. Android is available on beta by request. Download the Windows beta to keep reminders running in your system tray. The iPhone project still needs a Mac build.

Pause, resume or end your day from any signed-in device. One chosen device delivers reminders; starting or resuming your day selects that device. Keep the web tab open for browser reminders.

Up Ya Get for Windows.

Download version 0.1.4 for Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). The installer is 2.1 MB; setup may also download Microsoft Edge WebView2 if your PC needs it. An internet connection is needed to sign in and sync your records.

This is an early Windows beta. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show an unrecognised-app warning. Only continue if you trust this FierceSpeed download. The web preview is also available above.

Closing the window keeps Up Ya Get running in the system tray. To exit, use Quit and stop reminders in the tray menu.

Updates are manual: return to this page, quit the app and run the latest installer. Your account data and local app storage are retained. There is no automatic updater.
