YuMuuv’s benchmark data shows the “average user” takes about 7,300 steps and logs 50–55 exercise minutes per day, with men doing slightly more structured activity while women edge ahead on step counts. Device choice matters—performance wearables (Polar, Suunto, Garmin, Fitbit) report higher steps than phone-only sources, so differences aren’t only about behavior. When grouped into GMT bands, time-zone medians show clear variation, with GMT+3 users topping steps and GMT+0 users leading in exercise minutes.

Wellness calendars shouldn’t be guesswork. By using employee feedback inside YuMuuv, you can design a 2026 program that actually fits people’s routines—whether that means step challenges, hydration streaks, or collective minutes. With customizable goals, leaderboards, and announcement tools, YuMuuv turns feedback into measurable, engaging wellness strategy.
