Guided jump-landing programs for bone density, under five minutes a day
The research team behind it built the programs around trials showing that bone mineral density in peri-menopausal women improves with three to five minutes of jumping a day. Sessions run under five minutes and progress in four-week blocks across a year, with preparation and stretching programs alongside them. The app is free to download and the exercise programs are an in-app purchase.

Built by a research team including a close family friend of hers, Dr Tracey Clissold, around trials she took part in herself. The daily jump-landing sessions run under five minutes, and she describes the exercises as simple rather than ballistic or intimidating.
