In today's blog post, we have a special guest, June, an early HeroMode beta user. June tells the story of her multi-year weight loss journey, and how she uses HeroMode to stay organized and motivated on her diet, exercise, and goals. Spoiler alert: after years of struggling, June finally reached her target weight this year!

HeroMode has many different use cases. Today, I describe how I use HeroMode to build a stretching routine to rehabilitate my knees.

• Set up a repeat quest for a stretching session
• Within the quest, use checkboxes to list the movements
• Each stretching session takes no more than 10 minutes to complete
• I set up the repeat quest for Mondays through Fridays, so that I'm reminded to get up and stretch during work days
• Since setting up the "Stretch time!" repeat quest, I've been stretching almost daily, and my knees are feeling a lot better!

We also use HeroMode to stay healthy, be active, and eat better. HeroMode helps maintain these daily habits by

• automatically creating repeat quests to keep the Cue → Routine → Reward loop going
• adapting to our lives with flexibility
• keeping us motivated with points, activity calendar, and milestones
• leveraging social power with adventure buddies
