Why Social Exercise Outperforms Solo Workouts
Why It Matters
Most fitness apps track movement. CoDo makes movement social. The distinction is critical for long-term adherence and health outcomes.
• Social accountability: A 2017 study in the British Journal of Health Psychology found that exercising with a partner increased workout frequency by 35% compared to solo exercise
• The loneliness factor: The U.S. Surgeon General's 2023 advisory declared loneliness a public health epidemic, with isolation carrying health risks equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day
• Dual benefit: CoDo Move addresses both physical inactivity AND social isolation simultaneously — the two leading modifiable risk factors for premature death
• Cognitive bonus: A 2025 Lancet meta-analysis found that combining physical exercise with social engagement produces greater cognitive benefits than either alone
CoDo Move isn't just a fitness app — it's a social wellness platform that happens to get you moving.
