## How PushUp Began We noticed a simple problem: people spend hours scrolling every day, but often struggle to find time or motivation to move. So we asked: **what if screen time had to be earned through exercise?** That idea became PushUp—an app that turns the habit of opening social media into a reason to get active. Before unlocking a distracting app, users complete a quick fitness challenge such as push-ups, squats, or a plank. The goal is not to force long workouts or punish people for using their phones. It is to replace mindless scrolling with small bursts of movement that fit naturally into everyday life. PushUp makes every unlock a conscious choice—and every distraction an opportunity to build a healthier habit.
