Two of three rings on track today.

Two freezes a month, applied automatically. The streak never turns red.

Today's session

Full body · 35 min · Week 3

Food today

1 940 kcal · 130 g protein

Slightly higher protein because you train today.

Supplements

Vitamin D 2000 IU · Creatine 5 g

Short list on purpose. Both have a reason.

01

Tell it about you

Your age, your history, what your body is up for right now, anything you are managing, and how much time you honestly have. A short conversation, not a fitness test.

No VO2 max, no calipers, no photos. Amble asks what you can answer: whether stairs leave you winded, whether your knees complain, whether you have twenty minutes or an hour, and what you would like to be able to do in six months. If something you describe should be seen by a clinician, it says so before it writes anything.

02

Get one plan

Training, food and supplements written together, at a level you can start at today. Every session explains what to do and why it is there.

One plan, not three apps. The food targets know what the training week asks of you. The supplement list is short, boring and justified. If there is no good reason for something, it is not there. Every exercise carries a plain explanation of what it is for and how it should feel.

03

Live your actual week

Work runs late. Your back is stiff. You went out on Thursday. None of that is failure. It is information.

The streak counts days and it never turns red, and two freezes a month cover the weeks that get away from you. A missed session is a data point about your week, not a verdict on you. Amble expects interruption, because interruption is what real weeks are made of.

04

Tell the coach what happened, and the plan rewrites itself

You say what you did, skipped, ate or felt. The plan is rebuilt around it and shown to you as a proposal before anything changes.

Say that your knee hurt during squats and you do not get a warning icon. You get a swapped exercise, a reason, and a plan that still moves forward. Say that you only have twenty minutes on Thursday and Thursday gets rewritten. Every change is proposed, explained, and applied only when you say yes.

What the intake actually asks

The first conversation takes a few minutes and asks only things you can answer without a laboratory. Each question exists because it changes what gets written.

How old you are and what you have done before: This sets the starting load and, more importantly, the starting caution. Somebody restarting after twenty years and somebody who trained last month get different first fortnights, even at the same bodyweight.
How many days a week you can realistically train, and for how long^{Source 1,2}: Two to three sessions a week is a workable starting point, and adding sessions beyond that is not the lever most beginners think it is.
What equipment you can reach: A full gym, a pair of dumbbells at home, or nothing at all. The programme is written against what exists, not against what would be ideal.
What hurts, and what you are managing: Joints that complain, old injuries, conditions, medication that affects heart rate. If something you describe should be seen by a clinician, Amble says so before it writes a plan rather than coaching around it.
How you eat now, not how you think you should eat^{Source 3,4}: Food targets are built from your actual pattern, and the numbers behind the foods come from national composition data rather than guesswork.
What you want to be able to do in six months: Carry shopping up two flights without stopping. Get off the floor easily. Keep up on a walking holiday. Goals that are about your life are easier to program for than a number on a scale.

What a generated week actually contains

A week is not a list of workouts. It is the whole set of decisions you would otherwise have to make yourself.

Two or three sessions, full body^{Source 1}

Each session is six to eight movements covering a push, a pull, a leg pattern, a hinge and a carry. Every set is prescribed with reps in reserve, so you stop before failure rather than at it.

A weekly set count per muscle group, not a random pile of exercises^{Source 2}

Volume is tracked across the week rather than per session, because weekly volume is the unit that maps onto results.

Walking on the days between

Unglamorous, easy to do, and the thing most likely to still be happening in six months.

Food targets that know what the week asks^{Source 3,4}

Calories and protein for a training day differ from a rest day. Foods are costed from the Swedish food database where you shop in Sweden, and from USDA FoodData Central otherwise.

A short supplement list, with the reason attached^{Source 5,6}

Doses are shown against EU nutrient reference values, and label contents are checked against what products actually declare.

A note on what this block is for

You can always see why this week looks like this, and what it is building towards.

A worked example: the Monday that went sideways

This is the part every other app leaves to you. Here is what it looks like when a week does not go to plan.

Monday
You eat far more than the plan called for. A long lunch, a bad afternoon, and by the evening you are roughly two thousand calories past where the plan expected you to be.
What most apps do
They show the day in red and leave you to work out the maths. The usual response is to under-eat on Tuesday, train hungry, feel worse, and abandon the week by Thursday.
What you do in Amble
You open Coach and write one sentence: I ate way over today. That is all the input required.
What the coach does
It spreads the difference across the remaining days rather than demanding it back tomorrow, protects protein and training-day calories so the sessions are still fuelled, and leaves the training week intact. Nothing about Monday needs to be repaid in a single day.
What you see
A proposal: revised targets for Tuesday to Sunday, with a one line explanation of why each number moved. You approve it, or you do not.

Propose, then confirm. Nothing changes silently.

Every adjustment arrives as a proposal with the old version, the new version and the reason side by side. You tap to apply it. If you say no, the plan stays exactly as it was and the coach notes that you declined. You are never told after the fact that your plan was rewritten overnight.

Declining costs you nothing. The plan you already had stays in place until you choose otherwise.

That is the whole thing

Everything else, the rings, the food cards, the supplement list, exists to make that loop easy. Amble is in development and the beta opens soon.

Still in development

Amble has not launched. There is nothing to download or buy today. The beta opens soon, and the early access list is how you hear about it first.

One plan, and a coach that keeps it honest about your week.
