Sedentary by architecture
You sit through 6 hours of meetings and the only walk you get is to the fridge. By 4 PM you've consumed 0 vegetables and 3 espressos. You're not sedentary by choice; you're sedentary by architecture.
Finally, a system that tracks what matters and adapts to your unique physiology.
The core 90-day protocol for engineers and PMs. We map it to your real sprint cycle — on-call, planning, ship weeks — so the system keeps running when the week falls apart and willpower is offline.
Three patterns we see again and again in engineering orgs. Not character flaws — system defaults. If any of these are paging you, this protocol is built for you.
You sit through 6 hours of meetings and the only walk you get is to the fridge. By 4 PM you've consumed 0 vegetables and 3 espressos. You're not sedentary by choice; you're sedentary by architecture.
Doom-snacking during sev2 incidents is the only stress release you have. You've tried calorie counting, but there's no data integrity to your eating. No commit messages. No recovery.
Every 'lifestyle' app assumes you have a flexible 6 AM wake-up for the 'ideal' routine. You don't. Your ideal morning is one where you don't wake up at 2 AM to page on something that could have waited.
90-Day is long enough to stop being a project and start being how your weeks run. Calibrate, attach, and let the retro compound.
We map your protocol around your actual calendar: on-call weeks, planning weeks, ship weeks. The protocol changes. Heavy weeks are maintenance. Recovery weeks are adaptation. Like actual agile.
Movements happen during PR reviews (stand, stretch, 2-minute walk between reviews). Meals are decided with git discipline (breakfast at standup, lunch before pairing sessions). No willpower; just architecture.
20 minutes, every Friday. What worked. What didn't. Root cause (was it the week, or was it the protocol?). We iterate.
Long enough for the numbers to move and the habits to disappear into your calendar. Bad weeks become data, not derailment.
You can stand through the 4 PM meeting without your back hurting. Energy through the 3 PM slump is less terrible.
The system holds through an on-call rotation and a ship week — adherence stays green because the protocol bends, it does not break.
12–18 lbs down. Resting heart rate is 8 bpm lower. Sleep score is consistently >85. You're not caffeine-dependent anymore.
Across a full 90-day cycle, the protocol survives on-call, travel, and a re-org — because it bends instead of breaking.
Maintenance mode — protocol holds, no streak penalty.
Hotel-room circuit + a 4-restaurant decision tree.
Wellness-stipend reimbursable — invoice template included.
“The Friday retro is the only ritual that survived an on-call rotation and a re-org. I stopped improvising meals during incidents — the protocol just runs.”
“I do not need motivation. I need a checklist that tolerates a sev2 at 11 PM. This is the first system that did not fall apart in week two.”
“Calibrate, attach, retro. I run my org by that loop now. Did not expect a weight protocol to hand me a leadership framework.”
All pre-cached. We will not pretend we have not fielded each of these a few hundred times in a retro. Honest answers, no fine print.
Yes. The program has 'maintenance mode' weeks designed around on-call. Most engineers actually lose weight during on-call because the structure forces it: you have a protocol, you don't improvise meals, you sleep better.
No. There's a travel protocol with hotel-room workouts and a 4-restaurant decision tree. You've shipped code from hotels; you can eat from a decision tree.
Noom is a generalist app. CENTUM is a cohort built for your calendar. Noom says 'drink water.' CENTUM says 'drink water during PR reviews because that's when you zone out.' Different goal.
Many tech employers do via wellness stipends (Carta, Compt, Forma). We provide an invoice template. It typically shows as a wellness or professional development expense.
Run the calibration, map the protocol to your sprint cycle, and let a 90-day of small, attached habits compound. The quiz takes two minutes, maps your real sprint cycle, and returns a candid protocol you can run alone or with a cohort. No upsell mid-quiz. No shame copy.
