Physical activity coaching app
An app to guide health routines such as walking, jogging, tai chi or exercising at home. For now, I'm working on the concept.
The idea
A simple companion for moving every day. It isn’t a performance app for athletes: it is a friendly coach that suggests routines, reminds you to do them and celebrates consistency.
Kinds of activity I want to cover:
- Walking and jogging, with gradual progression.
- Gentle movement in the style of tai chi: balance, breathing and mobility.
- Home exercises with no equipment, or whatever is at hand.
Where it stands
At the concept stage: I’m defining what it should do and, above all, what it should not do to stay simple.
Open questions
- How do you guide an exercise without video: by voice, large text, illustrations?
- What counts as progress when consistency matters more than speed?
- A mobile app, or a web app that works well on a phone?
