TRAINING BASICS
Make room for the whole session.
Ease into movement.
Start with easy activity and gentle versions of the movements ahead. Give yourself time to find a comfortable rhythm.
Keep it controlled.
Learn technique before adding resistance. Choose a few movements rather than trying the whole library in one visit.
Leave time to recover.
Finish with easier movement. Rest between efforts and allow recovery between sessions. More is not always better.
How should I use this library?
Choose an activity category, then narrow by body area or equipment. Open a guide to read its steps and easier option. Add selected movements to your session and arrange them in a useful order. This catalog is educational, not a personalized training prescription.
What if a movement feels uncomfortable?
Stop if you feel pain or become unwell. Do not force a stretch or work through symptoms. If you are unsure what is suitable for you, get guidance from a qualified health or exercise professional.
Where is my session saved?

Can I do everything in the library?
The library is a collection of options, not a checklist to complete. Suitability depends on experience and circumstances. A qualified trainer can help you choose a manageable selection and appropriate effort.
