One flight of stairs

This Move means climbing one flight of stairs, which takes about 45 seconds, and your iPhone altimeter confirms it. It is a discreet office Move that also takes you away from your desk for a minute.

How to do it

One flight of stairs, step by step.

  1. Find the nearest staircase.

  2. Climb one flight at your own pace, holding the rail if you like.

  3. Your iPhone detects the change in height and completes the Move.

Questions

About One flight of stairs

How long does it take?

About 45 seconds, start to finish. Every Move in MiniMove takes 90 seconds or less.

What if I can't do it?

Take it slowly, one step at a time, with the rail. No stairs nearby, or not today? Seated mode leaves this one out, and “I can't do this” in the app swaps in another Move and stops suggesting it.

How many minutes does it unlock?

Whatever the Move, it opens the app for the window you chose: 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes of real use (15 by default), capped at twice that on the clock. It also goes into your Bank.
