Reminder to Stretch neck or personalized for specific stretches

Similar to reminders to move, it would be helpful to have an hourly reminder to stretch your neck (such as an owl stretch - turning your head as far as you can for 30 seconds each side) . As someone who works at a desk all day, it would be helpful to have the reminder and the ability to check (a yes it has been done) that it has been accomplished.
This is needed because:
Shoulder and neck tension are the most common complaints when one has to work at a desk all day staring at a screen and while moving (250 steps) is great it doesn't address the tension in the neck. While a person could do this on their own, I have found I don't but a reminder and a check that I have to make on the app/watch would help.
I'd use this: Daily

Like activity reminders but specific for stretching. Could be personalized for specific stretches--for instance I need to stretch my wrist frequently due to carpal tunnel but often forget. Having a specific reminder for remembering to stretch & what will help me keep on top of it.

Hi @SunsetRunner! Great suggestion. I've moved it into a similar request that had already been posted in the forums, this helps to keep the Community more organized and prevents the votes from users to be split between similar suggestions.
