rzen 6e440317c4 Restructure into a three-tab app with Progress, goals, and Meditation
The UX redesign's first landing (spec in UX-REDESIGN.md): ContentView
becomes a Today / Progress / Settings TabView, "Routine" replaces
"Split" in every user-facing string and view name (code-level types
keep their names), and workout starting moves to shared
WorkoutStarter / StartedWorkoutNavigator plumbing.

- New Progress tab: weekly goal streaks, workout trends, per-exercise
  weight progression, achievements, and the full history list
  (WorkoutLogsView -> WorkoutHistoryView).
- Goals: stable categories workouts roll up to, managed from Settings.
- New Meditation exercise + starter routine; timed sits record to
  Apple Health as Mind & Body sessions.

Meditation

Sit tall with the legs crossed, rest the hands on the knees, and follow the breath. A timed stillness practice that lowers stress, settles the nervous system, and closes a session — or a day — with focus.

  • Category: Mindfulness
  • Type: Seated meditation (timed hold)
  • Targets: Breath, focus, posture
  • Prescription: Sit 510 min, attention on the breath, returning to it whenever the mind wanders
  • Defaults: 1 × 300 s

Setup

Sit on the floor (or a cushion) with the legs crossed — lotus, half-lotus, or a simple cross, whatever the hips allow. Stack the spine tall, rest the hands on the knees, and soften the gaze or close the eyes.

Execution

  1. Lengthen up through the crown of the head, letting the shoulders drop.
  2. Breathe slowly through the nose — a long inhale, a longer exhale.
  3. Rest the attention on the breath moving in and out.
  4. When the mind wanders, notice it without judgment and return to the breath.

Cues

  • Sit on the front edge of a cushion to tilt the pelvis and free the spine.
  • Let the breath deepen on its own — observe it rather than forcing it.
  • Keep the face, jaw, and hands soft; effort lives only in the tall spine.

Common Mistakes

  • Slumping through the lower back as the sit goes on.
  • Chasing every thought instead of letting it pass.
  • Straining into a full lotus the hips aren't ready for — a simple cross works.

Progression

A few minutes seated comfortably → longer sits with a steady tall spine → half-lotus or full lotus as hip mobility allows.
