2. What is a sequence?

A Sequence is a collection of different exercises or movements arranged in a specific order, creating a circuit. This allows users to easily follow along, moving from one activity to the next without interruption, making their workout more structured and efficient.

4. Interactive vs. Timed Interactive Sequence

For INTERACTIVE exercises, the timer is set as a running stopwatch. Users can proceed to the next lesson by clicking on “Next.” Since it is not a countdown timer, there is no sound or beep to alert your users.

For TIMED INTERACTIVE exercises, the timer is set as a countdown. Users can only proceed to the next lesson once the timer runs out. Once one second remains on the timer, a sound/beep will play to alert your users that this part of the sequence is ending.

Sequences are primarily used for the health and fitness sector and allow two views:

  • View all segments of workouts in a list view with descriptions and the ability to view each segment separately.

  • You will start the playlist of all videos in sequence by clicking Start Now. 

Sequences, however, are not limited to health and fitness apps. Many PassionFighters use the sequence for various topics, including music, art, dance, and more!
