Routines
Space-efficient workout routines requiring no or minimal equipment, each tagged with the minimum build tier it assumes so readers can move directly between a routine and the gear that unlocks it. Covers bodyweight, dumbbell-only, band-only, and low-impact routines for beginners and common constrained contexts (small footprint, apartment noise limits, life-stage or recovery-adjacent situations), staying in general fitness education rather than medical advice. Excludes equipment cost or noise data, which live in Builds and Testing. Role: learning and reference, cross-linked into the conversion path.

Parents get one realistic session built around the CDC's 60-minute daily activity guideline: a 10x10-ft setup, three-minute warm-up, two core drills, and a few minutes of juggling, run three to five times a week with no coaching background required.
