About 1 Pixel Workout
1 Pixel Workout is a site blocker delivered as a Chrome extension. When you are about to open a distracting website, it interrupts and offers a movement break of about a minute rather than letting you start scrolling.
The workouts need no equipment or gym clothes and are designed for people who sit at a desk, targeting problems such as a stiff neck, rounded shoulders and afternoon fogginess. The site also has a library of workouts, a blog and a free posture pack.
The extension is free to use, and the site says you do not need to sign up or enter a credit card to get started. It also has an account sign-in and a pricing page that covers any additional paid options beyond the free extension.
