Add the exercise reference library, animated exercise figures, and exercise categories
Exercise Library/ holds per-exercise reference docs (setup, cues, mistakes, progressions) with SVG visuals and a Python-rendered motion pipeline; Workouts/ExerciseFigure renders the bundled *.motion.json rigs as animated stick figures on the exercise screen. Exercises gain a warm-up/main-circuit category, timed exercises display hold time via planSummary, and a completed exercise reopens to a check screen instead of its timers.

# Cat-Cow
|
||||
|
||||
Gentle spinal mobility drill that wakes up the whole trunk before core work.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Warm-up
|
||||
- **Type:** Spinal mobility
|
||||
- **Targets:** Thoracic and lumbar spine, deep core awareness
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 10 slow reps (one rep = cat + cow)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On all fours: hands under shoulders, knees under hips, spine neutral, gaze at
|
||||
the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Cat** — exhale, press the floor away, round the whole spine up toward the
|
||||
ceiling and tuck chin and tailbone.
|
||||
2. **Cow** — inhale, let the belly drop, lift the chest and tailbone, gaze
|
||||
slightly forward.
|
||||
3. Flow between the two, one breath per position.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Move segment by segment, not as one stiff plank.
|
||||
- Let the breath set the tempo — no rushing.
|
||||
- Reach the mid-back toward the ceiling in cat; most people only move the neck.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- All the motion coming from the neck and hips, none from the mid-back.
|
||||
- Collapsing into the shoulders instead of pressing the floor away.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Smaller pain-free range → full range → slower tempo with a pause at each end →
|
||||
segmental rolls (peel one vertebra at a time)
