A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU • Choose strength, a movement skill, mobility, or total fitness • Set your experience level and available equipment • Pick goals such as push-up, pull-up, handstand, squat, core, or mobility • Train two to five days per week in sessions from 15 to 60 minutes • Get a balanced four-week calendar with progressive volume SEE EVERY REP IN FRAMES RepFrame turns exercise demonstrations into a sequence of key positions. Pause the animation at any time, study the transition, and follow concise technique cues for setup, movement, and finish. TRAIN AT HOME OR IN THE GYM Build useful sessions with bodyweight only, dumbbells, resistance bands, or a pull-up bar. The exercise library covers push, pull, squat, hinge, core, mobility, and conditioning patterns. FOLLOW THE CALENDAR See today’s workout, upcoming training days, session duration, exercise order, rounds, repetitions, holds, and rest.
