Even though it is recommended to pause every hour, we understand that this might feel unconvinient for some people. Therefore, we included an option to choose the frequency of pauses. After setting this, the user is reminded by notifications in the interval he/she has set.

On the other hand, when the user skips the exercises, he/she loses points and risks that his/her Meatball will become unhappy. The stages are shown below.
