Walking Is One of the Most Powerful Forms of Exercise

Walking isn't just “light exercise.” It's one of the most proven ways to improve health, build consistency, and stay active across all stages of life.

Research shows that regular walking can lower your risk of heart disease by more than 30%, cut diabetes risk in half, and improve mental wellbeing as effectively as more intense exercise. Unlike high-impact activities, walking is sustainable, joint-friendly, and easy to build into your daily routine.

The problem? Most fitness apps don't treat walking with the respect it deserves. They're built for runners, cyclists, or athletes chasing pace and performance. Walkers often feel like second-class citizens - left without meaningful challenges, rewards, or recognition.

Motion was built differently. Our app celebrates walking as a first-class activity, putting steps, streaks, and consistency at the center of the experience.

Motion Makes Walking Fun, Social, and Rewarding

Motion takes the simplicity of step tracking and transforms it into a whole ecosystem of fun challenges, games, and supportive community features. Instead of just counting steps, Motion asks: how can walking become more enjoyable and motivating?

  • Step Challenges That Fit You: Whether you walk 3,000 steps or 30,000, Motion adjusts goals with our adaptive AI fitness goals. That means walkers and runners can compete fairly on effort, not just raw distance.
  • Walking Games: Fitness becomes playful through Fit Bingo and seasonal quests. Flip tiles, complete patterns, and unlock rewards just by walking each day.
  • Community Support: Join pods and group challenges to stay accountable. You'll find walkers around the world, sharing encouragement and celebrating progress together.
  • Motmot Motivation: Your digital fitness pet grows stronger and happier with each walk you take. Caring for your Motmot makes every step more meaningful.

Motion reimagines walking as more than exercise. It's fun, it's social, and it's rewarding in ways that keep you coming back.

Why Motion Is the Best Walking App

Many people try to use running-first apps like Strava or generic step counters to track their walks, but they quickly realize something's missing. Strava celebrates speed and segments, not slow-and-steady effort. Pedometer apps track steps, but don't give you goals, rewards, or community.

Motion fills that gap. It was designed to be inclusive from the start - where walking, running, hiking, or even just moving around your home all contribute equally.

  • Inclusive: Every type of movement counts.
  • Fair Competition: Motion uses effort-based scoring so walkers can compete fairly with runners.
  • Cross-Platform: Works with Apple Watch, Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, and even your phone's built-in step counter.
  • Seasonal Events: From winter step challenges to summer streaks, Motion makes walking feel like part of something bigger.

Motion isn't “just another step tracker.” It's the first fitness game that puts walking on equal footing with every other activity.
