I Move You Is An Evite For Healthy Activities

Y-Combinator -backed I Move You is launching today as a place where anyone can publicly pledge to partake in an action and challenge a friend to also commit to an activity. The site's ambition is simple: "I will do 'x' if you will do 'y.' I Move You is a way to inspire not only yourself, but also to invite others in your social graph to live a healthier, more balanced life. As co-founder Jen McCabe says, I Move You is an "Evite For Healthy Activities." The site, which allows you to create a profile or sign in with your Twitter or Facebook credentials, allows you to make a public statement about an activity you will do and invite others to do the same. Health-focused challenges range from swimming 10 laps to doing 50 pushups. The idea behind I Move You is that if you state your challenge publicly, you'll be more willing to follow through with the action.
