InTUNE Training is a revolutionary approach to a physical activity. It’s different than most exercise programs. Here are some important details about it.
InTUNE stands for Integrative and opportunistic training. The daily workout program provides a useful way to integrate movement into and throughout your day, and do so when the opportunity strikes!
It can also simplify your daily routine by giving you a body weight-oriented workout you can do anywhere, whenever you have a minute (literally).
How It Works
Each day humanOS.me schedules a new InTUNE workout. Each workout is comprised of one-to-several movements.
Each movement has either a repetition (rep) goal or time goal, like so:
By reps
- Sit-ups: 50 reps
- Pike press: 30 reps
- Lunges: 80 reps
By time
- Wall sits: 120 secs
- Plank: 180 secs
YOU HAVE UNTIL DAY'S END TO COMPLETE...
Your window to complete the workout is from when you wake up in the morning to when you go to bed at night. You have the entire day to get the work done. You can do the work all at once, or spread it out into little ‘exercise snacks.’
50 sit ups:
- 8:00a: 20 reps
- Noon: 10 reps
- 5:00p: 20 reps
Just aim to complete the 50 sit-ups before the day is over (same goes for all the movements in today’s workout).
Opportunistic Mindset
Over a few weeks of doing this training method, you start to see your day differently. A day becomes filled with opportunities to be active. You can do a few reps:
- During your morning routine.
- After you finish a stretch of work / email.
- Right before lunch
- Etc, etc
It's an entirely different way to think about exercise, yet moving throughout the day is how our ancestors moved.
What If I Can't Do Even A Few Push Ups!
Modify any exercise to make it easier or harder. Can't do a full push-up? Do them them from your knees or a counter.
Click the [+] at the upper right of the InTUNE tile on the dashboard to find animated GIF images of the exercise and sometimes modifications of easier versions of that exercise (see below).
Key: Find some version of the scheduled exercise you can do with good form and do that.
What If I Don't Recognize One Of The Exercises?

Since I started InTUNE Training in addition to my yoga practice I’ve been surprised by how many chances to move I find in my day - I trained myself to react when the opportunity strikes. Exercise is no longer something I must to plan my whole day around. It's liberating.- Vanessa Phillips
Tracking
The Activity Tracker in humanOS.me helps you easily monitor and record your activity.

InTUNE Is a Skill
Including InTUNE Training as a part of your movement practice doesn't mean you can't do other types of exercise. Here are three cases for how InTUNE can work for you:
- I mostly use InTUNE Training and daily steps to get physical activity into my life.
- I play soccer on the weekends but add InTUNE Training into my weekdays to get more physical activity between my weekend matches.
- I focus on lifting weights when I'm in my routine but I use InTUNE Training when I travel for work. Etc, etc.
