HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your goal or area (e.g., “Lower back pain”).
2. Start a guided plan blending mobility, flexibility, strength and stability.
3. Follow simple timing and form cues; everything is paced for you.
4. Use reminders and streaks to build the habit; add sets when you have time.

WHY SHORT SESSIONS?
A quick routine reduces friction, fits any schedule and builds a habit you’ll keep. Stack sessions when you have more time.
