Movement intelligence built on VILPA and the four pillars.

The 2022 Nature Medicine study showed 3-4 daily VILPA bouts cut cardiovascular mortality by 38-48%. This app makes those bouts trackable — and combines them with grip strength, sit-to-rise, and the four-pillar framework.

The Problem

Step counts are not movement intelligence.

Most movement apps count steps. Steps are necessary but insufficient. The longevity research identifies four distinct movement domains — and you need all four.

The four pillars from Peter Attia’s longevity framework: Stability (balance, mobility, fall prevention), Strength (resistance training, sarcopenia prevention), Aerobic (zone 2 cardio, mitochondrial health), and Anaerobic (VO₂ max, peak capacity). On top of this, the VILPA research adds a critical finding: brief 1-2 minute vigorous bouts integrated into daily life produce massive mortality reduction. Step counters miss all of this. Longevity Axis: Movement makes it visible.

Features

Movement that maps to longevity research

🏃

Movement Intelligence Score

0-100 score combining VILPA bouts, four-pillar coverage, intensity zones, and recovery balance.

VILPA Tracking

Logs brief vigorous bouts: stair climbs, brisk walks, hill repeats, carrying loads. The exact behavior the Nature Medicine study identified.

🏛️

Four-Pillar Dashboard

Track Stability, Strength, Aerobic, and Anaerobic separately. Most people overdo one and ignore three.

💪

Grip Strength Logging

Quarterly grip strength tracking. PURE study showed it predicts mortality better than blood pressure.

🔄

Suite Cross-Data

Adjusts targets based on Sleep recovery and Hydration status. Train smart, not just hard.

Pro: monthly movement profile, pillar imbalance warnings, VO₂ max progression tracking.

The Science

Built on peer-reviewed research

Every scoring decision in Longevity Axis: Movement is backed by published cohort studies or meta-analyses. Here’s the foundation:

VILPA — the 4-minute longevity intervention

Brief 1-2 minute vigorous bouts integrated into daily life. 3-4 daily VILPA bouts reduced cardiovascular mortality by 38-48% and all-cause mortality by 26-30%. The participants weren’t going to the gym — they just took stairs faster, walked briskly more often, and carried heavy loads.

Grip strength predicts mortality

The PURE study found grip strength was a stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than systolic blood pressure. Each 5kg reduction carried HR 1.16. Below 30kg for men or 18kg for women indicates substantial risk.

VO₂ max — strongest mortality predictor we have

Each 1-MET increase in cardiorespiratory fitness reduced all-cause mortality by 11-17%. Comparing the highest fitness category to the lowest yielded HR 0.47 — meaning improving from low to merely average fitness halves mortality risk.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

How is this different from Strava, Apple Fitness, or other workout apps?
Workout apps optimize for tracking workouts. Longevity Axis: Movement optimizes for the four-pillar framework and VILPA bouts that the longevity literature identifies. Different goal: not ‘great workout’ but ‘aging slower.’
Do I need expensive equipment?
No. The core experience requires nothing. For grip strength tracking, a $25 hand dynamometer is recommended quarterly. For VO₂ max estimation, a smartwatch helps but isn’t required.
What if I'm not currently active?
Start with VILPA. The Stamatakis study explicitly studied non-exercisers — the people who showed the biggest mortality reductions weren’t going to gyms. They just took stairs faster, walked more briskly, and carried heavier loads. The app guides exactly this progression.
Does it work with my existing fitness tracker?
Yes — Apple Watch, Garmin, Whoop, and Oura sync optionally. Manual logging works equally well if you don’t wear a tracker.

The Suite

Pairs with the rest of the suite

Longevity Axis: Movement works alone, but the real magic happens when paired with the other modules. Each app shares data locally to surface insights none can produce alone.
