1 Pixel Workout

The site blocker that makes you stronger. Turn your doomscrolling into your fitness routine.

🔥 Turn Your Doomscrolling Into Your Fitness Trigger You open Instagram, Reddit, or YouTube on autopilot. This extension shows a 60-second workout before you scroll. You can skip it. Or spend a minute fixing your posture and clearing your head 🔋. ⚡ How It Works 1. Install the extension 2. Add distracting sites 3. Visit one → get a 1-minute desk workout 4. Do it… or skip and continue browsing No hard blocks. No punishment. Just a better default. 📌 Pin the extension to your toolbar and you can start a workout anytime — no need to wait for a distraction site to trigger it. Start without an account — no sign-up required. Create a free account (no cc needed) to unlock more workouts, or go Pro for unlimited access to the full library. 💪 Why This Works - Even a short pause breaks mindless scrolling - One minute of movement often kills the urge to scroll - If you skip — fine. If you move — you win This isn't discipline. It's a nudge at the right moment. 🧠 The "Exercise Snacks" Idea Short workouts (1–5 minutes), known as "exercise snacks," are backed by research. They're shown to: - Improve circulation - Reduce stiffness from sitting - Help desk workers stay healthier without long workouts No sweat. No gear. No schedule. 🪑 Made for Desk Workers - Remote workers & developers - People sitting 8+ hours a day - Anyone trying to scroll less without guilt 🦴 Fix Your Posture While You're At It Hours at a desk wreck your posture — forward head, rounded shoulders, tight hips. Most workouts in the library target exactly that. A few minutes a day won't undo years of sitting overnight, but consistent micro-corrections add up fast. 🔓 Open Source This extension is fully open-source.
