An exercise library with videos, muscle maps, progressions, and safety data for every movement
Every exercise in Budy carries over 40 data points: primary and secondary muscles, difficulty level, required and alternative equipment, space requirements, video demos in multiple qualities, step-by-step instructions, safety tips, common mistakes, progressions, regressions, variations, modifications, and contraindications.
Why Budy fits this need
Every exercise in Budy is a rich data object, not just a name and a video clip.
Muscle targeting data
Every exercise maps primary and secondary muscle groups, so you know exactly what each movement trains.
Progressions, regressions, and alternatives
Each exercise includes harder progressions, easier regressions, variations, and equipment-based alternatives.
Safety and contraindication data
Exercises carry contraindication data, safety tips, and common mistakes so the AI avoids prescribing movements that conflict with your health profile.
Who Budy helps here
Users who want to understand their exercises — what they target, how to progress, and when to modify.
- Beginners learning exercises
- Coaches researching movements
- Users wanting to understand their plan
- People looking for exercise alternatives
- Fitness enthusiasts exploring new movements
How Budy approaches this need
Budy builds its exercise library with structured data that powers intelligent plan generation.
More than a video library
Most exercise libraries are just video collections with a name and a muscle group label. Budy goes deeper. Each exercise is a structured data object with over 40 fields that the AI uses when building your plan.
This includes measurement type (reps, time, distance, weight, or calories), default set and rep ranges, rest times, tempo guidance, whether the exercise is unilateral, whether it requires weight, space requirements, and estimated calories per minute. This data is what allows the AI to build intelligent, balanced programs.
Progressions and regressions for every level
Every exercise includes a progression path — harder variations for when you are ready to advance, and easier regressions for when you need to scale back. This is how Budy keeps your plan appropriate as your fitness level changes.
The library also includes exercise modifications for specific limitations and alternative exercises based on equipment availability. If your plan calls for a cable fly but you are training at home, the alternative might be a resistance band fly or dumbbell fly depending on what you have.
Frequently asked questions
