## 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 targets** for Strength/Cardio/Mobility 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)
- **Health signals (via Apple Health)**: 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 Journal (tracking)
- **Step sessions**: classes watched/completed in the platform
- **External activities**: users can log walks, gym sessions, stretching, yoga, etc.
- Activity can count toward weekly Strength/Cardio/Mobility targets.

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

## Privacy & data handling (public commitments)
- Step collects data to personalize the experience: profile details, workout activity/completions, and (with permission) Apple Health metrics.
- Step does **not sell** personal data and does **not share health data** with third parties for advertising.
- Personal data is **not used to train general AI models**; personalization is account-specific.
