Every element you touch is a point. Points never reset. Miss a day, you just pick back up.
Tap each as you go. Coffee unlocks after you move.
Run, stretch, build, play. Pieces, not punishment.
Work, home, porch, stairs. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Stuck on a bug? Take it on the Boulevard path. Voice-memo the answer when it shows up — it usually does around minute 15.
Any call that doesn't need a screen happens on foot. Move and People, both lit.
Every time something ships or a build goes green: one song, full volume, doors closed.
Pass the pull-up bar, do a dead hang. Ten a day adds up to real grip.
The morning coffee goes on the porch, after the run. City first, headlines later.
From your door. Tap Directions to open the route in Maps. Start an Outdoor Walk or Run on your watch to record distance and GPS.
About 9 minutes. Gentle tension, never pain, never bounce. Breathe out into each stretch.
3 rounds. Rest 60s between. Built from your baseline — climb toward 50 push-ups in one set.
Start music first, then hit Start. The coach talks over it.
Three runs a week. Talk-in-short-sentences pace. Repeat any week — repeating is the plan working.
Delayed-onset muscle soreness peaks a day or two after something new, then fades. It's adaptation, not damage.
The repeated-bout effect: once you've done an effort, the same effort makes you much less sore. The worst of it is at the start — the wall you've hit before is temporary.
Easy walking and light stretching ease soreness better than sitting still.
Dull, all-over ache = normal. Sharp, joint-located, or one-sided pain = rest.
Cook twice a week, eat well all week. No canned-soup emergencies.
Tap what this meal has. Three or more = a strong plate.
Deposit portions when you cook. Withdraw when you're hungry. Keep the balance up and takeout loses.
1. The list below is in store order: produce → grains & beans → protein → dairy → frozen → pantry → snacks. Walk it once, top to bottom.
2. Full = protein + fiber. Beans, lentils, whole grains, vegetables, eggs, yogurt. Those keep you full long after chips are gone.
3. Fewer ingredients wins. If the label reads like a recipe you could make, good. If it reads like a chemistry set, skip.
4. Frozen veg and fruit count. Same nutrition, no rotting in the fridge.
5. Don't shop hungry. Eat a burrito from the bank first.
About two hours, start to finish. Run things in parallel: rice and stew simmer while the sheet pan roasts.
Cool cooked rice fast — spread it on a tray — and get it in the fridge or freezer within about an hour. Freeze flat in bags; reheat with a splash of water.
Tape + marker: what it is and the date. Soups and stews are best within about 2–3 months.
When hunger hits between meals, reach here first. Each pairs protein or fat with fiber so it actually holds you.
A palm-sized portion at each meal helps muscle recover from runs and push-ups, and keeps you full longer.
Greek yogurt, eggs, banana + peanut butter, a burrito from the bank. Make the good thing the easy thing.
Hungry between meals? A glass of water, then decide.
Sleep, wind down, breathe. The other half of training.
Videos from your yogi friend live here. Upload them from your phone — each file up to 20 MB.
Making the out-breath longer than the in-breath is one of the quickest ways to settle the nervous system.
In a 2023 Stanford study, five minutes a day of double-inhale, long-exhale breathing improved mood more than mindfulness meditation did.
Two minutes of breath before the first sip is a good swap for two minutes of headlines.
Every number here is you, getting better on purpose.
One patch per day. The more of the six you touch, the brighter it burns. Tap a patch.
Test every couple of weeks. Personal records light up.
Not a grade. A portrait. It only grows when you show up, and resets its reference each time you check in.
Nothing yet. Tomorrow's the first page.
Push each other. Laugh at each other. Nobody loses for a day off.
They get their own app, built from their own voice. You get someone to throw dice at.
Make it yours.
Talk for a few minutes about your life, gear, music and goals. The app rebuilds itself around you.
Websites can't read Apple Health directly, so a small helper on your iPhone carries your steps, miles, weight, sleep and resting heart rate here. Pick one below, set it up once.
Works with anything that writes to Apple Health — Apple Watch, Oura, Renpho, Whoop. Set it once and forget it.
Readings show up whenever you open First Light: “⌚ readings from your watch & scale.” Until it's connected, ＋ logs numbers by hand.
Workouts only call for what's checked. Got new stuff? Check it and the plan adapts.
Bars, sayings, things your grandmother told you. They join the morning rotation.
In your music app: open the playlist → Share → Copy link. Paste here.
Checking storage…
You can still log what you did. It all counts.
Every item here is one less decision at 7am. Future you says thanks.
Two to five minutes. Ramble. Tap the 🎙 on your keyboard and just talk. Use the prompts or ignore them. We sort it out.
