Groundwork: Breathe & Move
Breathwork & Calisthenics
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build a grounded daily practice with guided breathing, a focused 10-minute strength session, and a simple capacity glance powered by the FitInsights Engine.
A calmer breath. A stronger foundation. Ten focused minutes.
Groundwork helps you build a practical daily practice around guided breathing and minimal effective strength work. Choose a breathing protocol, complete a repeatable 10-minute workout, and keep a lightweight record of the work you have done.
No endless content feed. No complicated workout programming. Just focused tools designed to help you breathe, move, and practice consistently.
BREATH LAB
Explore guided breathing practices organized around goals such as calm, focus, sleep preparation, athletic recovery, stress resilience, nasal breathing, and composure under pressure.
Each protocol includes:
- Guided inhale, hold, and exhale pacing
- Optional voice and tone cues
- Clear explanations of the intended mechanism
- Evidence context and citations
- Contraindications and safety information
- Optional pre-session and post-session heart-rate variability readings when Apple Health data is available
Available practices include cyclic sighing, box breathing, 4-7-8 breathing, resonance breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, focused-attention meditation, OM meditation, nasal breathing practice, and more.
10-MINUTE STRENGTH
Complete a focused calisthenics EMOM built around five fundamental movement patterns:
- Push
- Squat
- Row
- Bridge
- Core
Choose an appropriate variation for each movement, log repetitions or timed holds, and record technique and effort after the session. Groundwork uses those observations to help you decide whether to maintain, add repetitions, progress, or regress next time.
A workout does not need to be long or complicated to be worth doing.
A SIMPLE CAPACITY GLANCE
Groundwork can use Apple Health data to provide a small Morning and live Now capacity glance powered by the FitInsights Engine.
This information gives you context for today’s practice without turning Groundwork into another analytics dashboard.
Groundwork helps you practice. FitInsights helps you understand the larger patterns behind your capacity, recovery, and training.

APPLE HEALTH
With your permission, Groundwork can read relevant health and activity information used by its capacity features. Completed breath practices can be saved as mindful sessions, and completed strength practices can be saved as traditional strength-training workouts.
Health access is optional. Groundwork remains useful without it.
APPLE WATCH COMPANION
During a Breath Lab session on iPhone, the Groundwork Apple Watch companion can display your current breathing phase and live wrist heart rate. Breathing pace remains controlled by the timer on your iPhone.
TRACK THE PRACTICE
Use the Log to review:
- Breath sessions
- Strength sessions
- Nasal breathing habit days
- Your current movement variation for each strength pattern
Groundwork is designed for practice, not performance theater. Show up, do the work, and build from there.
IMPORTANT

Ratings & Reviews
Simple bug fix - When launching the app if you were already listening to audio, the audio level would drop. This was due to the way we warmed the speech prompts to avoid clipping or making it "stutter" on transition to the guides. We still warm the engine, just without a change to audio levels.
