Speaking of which... is there an alarm clock app that would require actually moving the phone by several metres to shut the alarm off? Or would this be too inaccurate (sensors)?

and this one requires scanning pre-selected barcode, kind of achieves the same thing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.havchr.mr2
Walk Me Up - This alarm app won't turn off unless you get up and walk a predetermined number of steps. It's enough to get me out of bed and moving for a few moments.
Waterproof Bluetooth Headphones - I pop these in right away and get some music going. The alarm gets me out of bed, the headphones keep me awake.
I then move right into my morning workout. Simple bodyweight stuff, enough to get the blood pumping and work up a sweat. No equipment, no set-up, just right to it. Check out /r/bodyweightfitness for workout ideas.
Once I'm done, I can keep rocking out while I head into the shower, since the headphones are waterproof. I'll take my time, and shave and brush my teeth in the shower, so by the time I'm out, all I need to do is get dressed. Whole thing takes 30-45 minutes.
The best part is, it gets me up and keeps me up even when I'm waking early. Waking up early gets me tired earlier, which in turn makes it so much easier to get to bed (and to sleep) earlier. A couple weeks of this was all it took to shift my sleep habits from a die-hard night owl to someone who wakes up before 6:30AM even on weekends.
I use Walk Me Up. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moosa.alarmclock instead of hitting a snooze button, you are forced to get up and walk a predetermined number of steps in order to shut it off. This app has been a life saver and stopped me from over sleeping

Probably one of the best alarm clock apps I have come across. Basically it forces you to walk a certain amount of steps before it stops ringing.
Haven't over slept since, seeing as I no longer just hit the snooze button and then roll back to sleep

How about this?
I was thinking about something similar a while ago, but instead of exercises just moving the phone certain distance (problem being that as the phone is next to the bed, shutting off the alarm does not require getting out of the bed). Besides the QR code or photo taking ones I found this:

I could cheat this though just by moving the phone in my hand and it calculated them as "steps". The sensitivity is adjustable though. Maybe you could try adjusting the settings and see if they can be made to recognize some exercise move.
Today I installed the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moosa.alarmclock&ref=reddit app. It helps.
