This would presumably work as long as your insurance provider doesn't have access to your location or any other means of figuring out that your exercise routine is odd.


You could claim you were on a treadmill


Right, in the middle of a Harbin restaurant where a bunch of other people like to also seem to like "running on the treadmill".


Perhaps there's a gym on the second floor!


"You see, so many people are in to exercise that the restaurant started offering treadmill tables". Though probably more believable to just hang out in the gym lobby with your laptop or a book while your watch does its exercise routine,.


As odd as "I like to run on the spot when watching Netflix"


What the world needs is an app that enables our kind to hire some peon to walk around with our phones. Where do I send my YC application?


Not exactly what you describe, but SXSW paid a platoon of homeless Austin residents to carry around WiFi access points. IIRC it didn’t go over so well for them in the media, which I personally found odd since they were paying $20/hr and the homeless people probably thought it was a cool way to earn easy money...
