Have you ever wanted to master a handstand, perfect your push-ups, or finally achieve that elusive pull-up? Move Journey is here to help with our brand-new feature: Skill Progressions! Whether you’re just starting your movement journey or looking to level up specific skills, this update is designed to provide a structured, intuitive, and fun way to progress in calisthenics-based movement training.
What Problem Are We Solving?
For many movement practitioners, starting a new skill or advancing in their practice can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’ve tried to learn a handstand but kept tipping over, or you’ve struggled to increase your pull-up count without knowing what to focus on next. Without proper guidance, it’s easy to feel stuck, lose motivation, or train inefficiently. The Skill Progressions feature in Move Journey aims to solve this by:
- Providing a structured on-ramp to Move Journey’s features.
- Offering a clear and progressive path toward mastering movement skills.
- Helping users train effectively with assessments, personalized programs, and AI-assisted feedback.
- Making movement practice more fun, engaging, and rewarding.
Who Is This For?
Skill Progressions in Move Journey is designed for:
- People who want to train calisthenics skills but don’t want to pay for a personal trainer.
- Anyone looking for support, encouragement, and structure in their movement practice.
- Beginner and intermediate movers who struggle with how to train effectively and efficiently.
How Does It Work?
Imagine Sarah, a fitness enthusiast who has always wanted to learn a handstand but never knew where to start. With Move Journey’s Skill Progressions, she follows a structured path that guides her through the process seamlessly. The journey follows five key phases, each leading into the next in a cycle of progress:
- Pick a Skill – Sarah starts by selecting ‘handstand’ as her goal. Move Journey offers handstands as one of the popular skills that is great to get started with.
- Assess Proficiency – Before diving in, Sarah needs to assess where she stands. She begins with a simple test, progressing from a plank to a wall-supported handstand. Move Journey detects her pose using the camera and evaluates her proficiency, or she can self-report her level.
- Create a Plan – Based on her assessment, Move Journey generates a custom training plan. It offers a structured workout she can perform over the next few weeks, progressively building strength and technique.
- Practice Movement – Sarah follows her plan, completing exercises designed to improve her stability, endurance, and control. She practices consistently and refines her technique with AI-assisted feedback.
- Community & Challenges – To stay motivated, Sarah joins a handstand challenge where she can compare progress with others, share photos, and get support from the Move Journey community.
- As she improves, Sarah reassesses her proficiency and moves on to more advanced progressions, continuing through the cycle of skill development. With each completed phase, she gets closer to mastering her handstand!
What’s Next for Skill Progressions?

Imagine unlocking a smart training strategy that adjusts to your progress, ensuring you stay challenged but never overwhelmed.
