Would love to see this for Android!

Does it have to be an app? A website would do

Website menu is blank. There are some typos and font challenges. Images look blurry/lo-res.
I'd like to see some of the videos without having to install the app.

I’ve wanted an app like this for ages. I’ve always suffered from analysis paralysis when trying to work out a good, short exercise routine. This looks like it will be the perfect solution — thank you!

One of the best things about home office is that I can just lay down on the floor and do push ups
Unfortunately it isn't proper etiquette at work

I think nowadays with the myriad of tools available there's no excuse for doing an app for just one platform, I struggle with doing exercise so I opened the link excited to be completely disappointed by the fact that it's only for iOS.

Good luck with the app!
But I could not help but be reminded of this hilarious Ben Stiller scene:

Really cool idea, I’ve been looking for something like this.
I did wonder how to do the Bear Hold if the duration isn’t specified?

> If this is something that interests you, I want to hear how you balance a long day on your desk vs exercise.
Do things that actually make a difference, which means heavy barbell training. Anything else is generally subpar and inefficient, the main issue being no meaningful progression can be made after the first few weeks.
Heavy compound barbell training (squat, press, bench, deadlift) can be progressed and adapted to for decades. It's also an extremely efficient use of time.

This is probably the first app I’ve come across on HN where I immediately downloaded it with the intent to use it. I love this idea because I’ve been thinking recently that I want to get into a micro-exercise habit. Like maybe every time I go to the bathroom, I do a quick rep. So this is perfect.
I’m going to try it out this week and give feedback.
Some immediate feedback if it helps – the “Your List Expires at Midnight” screen is pretty confusing. I think I understand what you’re saying on this screen. But the presentation of the icons really threw me off, I’m not sure what they’re trying to convey.
Nonetheless I’m really excited to give it a try. If there’s a particular place where you’d like feedback, let me know.

Typo in headline (currently): Micro Execises

Looks great, I will try it out. The form of some of the instructional exercises is poor, I thought the pushups was almost comical.
