"Sitting can kill you, even if you exercise"  Jen Christensen, CNN

Sitting is the new smoking. That’s what’s being said about our sedentary lifestyle in front of our computers whether it’s at work or at home. It’s recommended to sit for no longer than 20 minutes. After that we should stand up and stretch. It sounds easy to do, but it’s remarkably difficult to keep doing in the long run even for the most diligent among us.

This is where Intermission will help! 

Intermission is a Mac app that will remind you to stand up and take a small break at regular intervals. During the break a friendly reminder will present itself over the entire workspace which more or less forces you to take that break. Doing so will also increase your productivity and concentration since your brain also benefits from these breaks.
