## What Step is (high-level)
- **Adaptive guidance**: Step learns from behavior, preferences, and recovery to suggest what your body needs next.
- **Three targets**: Step organizes movement into **Strength**, **Cardio**, and **Mobility**, each measured in **minutes per week**.
- **Explainable recommendations**: suggestions can include “Why this?” reasoning so users understand what to do and why.

## Weekly Targets (how goals work)
- Step sets personalized weekly Strength/Cardio/Mobility targets and tracks progress against them.
- Targets reset weekly (Step weeks run **Monday → Sunday**).
- Targets adapt over time based on health signals, recovery, goals, and completion patterns.

## Personalization inputs (with permission)
- **Apple Health signals** (examples): VO2 Max, resting heart rate, HRV, steps, sleep, etc.
- Workout history: what was completed, frequency, intensity/duration
- Preferences: categories you like/avoid, intensity tolerance, duration preferences
- Constraints: time budget, equipment, injuries, recovery state

## Workouts & activity tracking
- Step sessions: classes watched/completed in the platform
- External activities: users can log or import walks, gym sessions, stretching, yoga, etc.
- Activity can count toward weekly Strength/Cardio/Mobility targets.

## Apple Watch / Apple Health integration
- Step can use Apple Health permissions to read relevant data for personalization.
- Step does not require an Apple Watch, but having one can improve tracking and personalization.
