MauFit turns your daily workout into a growth game: take the quests the system issues, finish them to level up, raise your stats and take on monsters. Camera rep counting Set your phone down and start. Squats, jumping jacks, high knees, lunges, push-ups, planks, mountain climbers, mountain running and alternating elbow-to-knee are recognized by the camera in real time, so you never have to count. Push-ups and planks work from the side or the front. Quests that grow with you The system adjusts your next target from how you did and how clean your form was: a little more when it went well, a little less when it was too hard. Dungeons and monster cards Fight through three areas, from minions to bosses, with circuit workouts. Finish your daily quests to open a reward pack and collect monster cards, including rare gold ones. Duplicates level your cards up. Partners that grow Choose a partner, take it along and watch it evolve. More partners unlock as you level up and defeat bosses. Circuit training Chain several exercises into a set and run it for several rounds with a rest in between. During a rest, raise both hands overhead to start the next set without touching the phone. Walks that are checked Start a brisk walk, lock the screen and go. The phone's step counter confirms you really walked. A system, not a passive to-do list Open the app and the system issues today's quests. Miss a day and you get a warning and a make-up quest. Feeling unwell? Use a rest pass to keep your streak.
