Description

Welcome to the Outbound - the first outdoor app built for everyday health. OUR MISSION To help everyone build better health through daily outdoor activity and time in nature. WHY? Modern life is destroying our natural balance. We’re moving less, spending more time indoors, and becoming more isolated than any generation before us. The average US adult now spends more than 90% of their life indoors and sits for 9.5 hours/day. Our health is paying a steep price. 48% of all US adults have heart disease, 18% are depressed, and 19% have anxiety. It's even worse for young adults. But research suggests a surprisingly simple (and affordable) truth: OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AND TIME IN NATURE ARE THE ANTIDOTE TO THE STRESS OF MODERN LIFE. Just 20 minutes of moderate outdoor activity is proven to decrease the risk of heart disease, reduce depression, and decrease anxiety. Just 120 minutes/week of time in nature reduces stress, boosts your mood, and increases your odds of good health - all for a tiny fraction of what you might spend on expensive gadgets, supplements, or a gym membership. Your health doesn't need to be hacked, it's right outside your door. That's why we built the Outbound. ► Our goal is to help you get outside, move, and feel better everyday. ► By keeping things simple, aligning incentives, and building a gentle support system, we help everyone get back to nature - moving, thriving, and reaching their full potential. No competition, no comparisons. Progress over perfection. HOW IT WORKS MEASURE YOUR MOVEMENT. We help users keep track of their active time outside - tracking neighborhood walks, navigating hiking trails, and keeping a history of their effort and progress over time. Perfect for every level of fitness - it’s designed to support you at your own pace. Tracked activities include walking, strolling, hiking, bird watching, backpacking, running, paddling, mountain biking and more... BUILD CONSISTENCY. With customized goals, challenges, and gentle nudges, we continually encourage your effort and transform the burden of accountability into an experience that's attainable and fun. EARN EXCLUSIVE REWARDS. We convert your outdoor activity into rewards points.
