Most ab routines treat your core as one muscle. It is not. Upper abs, lower abs, obliques and deep core develop at different rates, and the weakest one caps how the whole set looks. AbForge finds that zone and builds around it. HOW IT WORKS Take one photo of your abdomen. AbForge scores your zones separately, estimates your body fat, and tells you which zone is holding the rest back. Rescan whenever you want to see what moved. WHAT YOU GET A routine that targets your weakest zone Your plan is built from your scan, your training frequency and where you train. It rotates as you complete workouts, so you are not repeating the same four exercises forever. Fourteen exercises, every one on video No guessing at form from a static drawing. Each exercise plays a demo you can watch mid set. A guided session, not a list Countdown, timer, rest between sets, swap an exercise you cannot do today. The camera can count your crunch reps if you want it to, and you log the rest yourself. Nutrition that follows the same numbers Calorie and macro targets calculated from your body and your goal. Log a meal by photo, by barcode, or by search. Progress you can see Scan history, workout streak, rank tiers, and a recovery day when your core needs one.

AbForge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
