How do I find exercises for a specific skill or age?

The fastest path is your weekly routine, because it's already age-matched for you. Open it and the exercises shown are the ones that fit your baby's stage right now, in the order to do them. You don't set an age or pick a level. So if your question is "what should we work on at this age," the routine already answers it. Tap Routines in the bottom bar, then your baby's Weekly Routine card. More on how that works in how the weekly routine works.

When you want to go wider than this week, or hunt down moves for one specific skill, that's what the Exercise Library is for. It holds all 100+ exercises, and you can trim it to your baby's stage in one tap.

Match the whole library to your baby's age

The Library has a built-in age match, so you don't need to work out which moves suit a 5-month-old versus an 8-month-old yourself.

1. Open the Exercise Library from the sidebar.
2. Turn on the Suitable for [your baby] toggle.
3. The list trims to the exercises that fit your baby's current week.

That toggle does the age matching for you. There's no separate age slider to set. The program covers the first 18 months, with the richest stretch before walking, so the youngest and oldest babies will simply see a smaller pool of moves that fits them.

If you'd rather match a different stage, say you're previewing what's coming, you can change which age the app uses by editing the birthdate or corrected-age setting on your baby's profile. Steps for that are in editing your baby's birthdate.

Find exercises for one skill

The Library groups every move by the part of practice it belongs to, so you can browse a skill area instead of scrolling the whole list.

1. In the Exercise Library, tap a phase filter along the top: Connection, Warmup, Mobility, Strength, Acrobatic, or Cooldown.
2. Leave the Suitable for [your baby] toggle on so you only see moves that fit this week.
3. Looking for one move by name? Type it in the Search exercises box.

So for groundwork toward sitting or rolling, the Strength and Mobility phases are where the building-block moves live. For winding down, look in Cooldown. You can pair a phase filter with the age toggle to land on, for example, the Strength moves that suit your baby right now.

One honest note on what you'll see: the routine and the Library are matched to your baby's age, not to the exact skills they can already do today. So you'll often find moves that prep for a skill before your baby reaches it, like groundwork for rolling before they roll. That's on purpose. Those early reps build the strength the skill needs. More on that in how the weekly routine works.

Save the ones you want to come back to

Once you've found moves you like, save them so you don't have to hunt for them again.

1. Tap the heart on any exercise card to add it to your Favourites.
2. After you've favourited at least one, a Favourites filter appears with the phase filters.
3. Tap Favourites to show just the moves you saved.

This is also how you revisit exercises from an earlier week. The routine view only ever shows the current week, so to repeat moves from a week that's passed, find them in the Library and favourite them. See where do I find previous weeks' routines?.

If your baby was born early

So the ages match where your baby actually is, enter their real birthdate and turn on the premature option. The app then uses corrected age for both the routine and the Library's age toggle, so a skill or stage you search for lines up with their adjusted age. Full steps are in corrected age for a premature baby.

A skill we don't cover, or a worry about a milestone

This program is for healthy, typical development, and it isn't medical advice. If you're searching the Library because you're worried your baby is behind on a milestone, or your baby has a diagnosed condition you want exercises for, the right person to guide that is your pediatrician or a pediatric PT or OT. They can look at your specific baby in a way a library of general exercises can't. See when to talk to your pediatrician or pediatric PT/OT.
