Wakeout understands the importance of rest and recovery in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. That's why we've incorporated flexible options for taking time off within the app. Here's how you can manage your active and rest days with Wakeout:
Extended Time Off
Wakeout allows you to take up to a week off at a time. To activate this feature, simply tap on the beach umbrella icon located in the top right corner of the home view. During this period:
- You won't receive notifications to get active
- Your Wakeout Watts won't be displayed
- The app won't alert you about being sedentary
- The entire interface is disabled to remind you to relax and take it easy
On your activity calendar, these days will be marked in orange to indicate they were designated days off.
This feature is perfect for vacations, busy periods at work, or when you simply need an extended break to relax and refuel.
Activity Schedule
For more regular scheduling, Wakeout offers an Activity Schedule feature. This allows you to customize which days you intend to be active and which days you'd like off, typically weekends. Here's how it works:
- You can set specific days of the week as "off days" in your schedule
- During these off days, the app interface remains accessible
- You can still do Wakeouts and log activity if you choose
- You won't be deemed sedentary on these days
- If you reach your active goal, the day is still counted as active
The Activity Schedule is ideal for maintaining a consistent routine that accommodates your regular weekly schedule.
Benefits of Taking Days Off
Incorporating rest days into your routine is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. It allows your body to recover, prevents burnout, and can actually improve your overall activity levels by ensuring you're refreshed and motivated when you return to your active days.
Remember, staying active is important, but so is listening to your body and giving it the rest it needs. Wakeout's flexible options for taking time off ensure that you can maintain a balanced, sustainable approach to daily activity.
Whether you're using the extended time off feature or the weekly Activity Schedule, Wakeout is designed to support your individual needs and help you build a healthy, long-term relationship with physical activity.
