Make the wait count. You wait dozens of times a day — the kettle boiling, the coffee brewing, the pasta water heating. Wait Training turns those spare two or three minutes into a quick, guided workout. No gym, no equipment, no getting changed. Tap start, follow one to three simple bodyweight exercises matched to how long you're waiting, and you're done about the time your tea is ready. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • No account needed — open the app and go. Everything stays on your phone. • No equipment, ever — every exercise works on a bare kitchen floor. • Plain English — clear instructions for every move, no fitness jargon. • Matched to your wait — shorter waits get one exercise, longer ones get two or three. • Built around your day — set up your "waits" (Morning Tea, Afternoon Coffee…) and a simple weekly plan. • Gentle reminders — optional nudges to move, on the days you choose. • Keep your streak — a little encouragement to keep the habit going. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick what you're waiting for and how long it takes. 2. Follow the exercises while you wait. 3. When the timer's up, your tea's ready too. SIX WAYS TO MOVE Core, legs, upper body, full body, stretch and balance — 36 beginner-friendly exercises, all bodyweight, all doable in the time it takes to brew a cuppa. Waiting is going to happen anyway. Make it count. — Wait Training offers general fitness guidance, not medical advice. Check with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine.
