Everyday exercise

Most of our physical activity is done in our everyday life. Walking to school, work or to the bus stop. The stairs to the office or the bike ride to the store. The duration of the different activities doesn't matter. All your steps count!

At Itrim, we focus on becoming aware of daily exercise. It's easy to become more active in our everyday life -for free!
