About
fitness-wellness is a Design & UI/UX skill from dylantarre/animation-principles that translates Disney's 12 principles into motion for fitness apps, wellness platforms, workout trackers, and meditation experiences. The skill prescribes energetic squash on workout buttons, progress ring pulses on achievement, countdown anticipation before timers, and staging for goal completion so motion motivates users without causing fatigue or distraction. Developers reach for fitness-wellness when building health app interfaces where animation must celebrate activity and support habits while remaining accessible during extended sessions. Concrete examples include ready-set-go timer sequences, activity icon bounce on completion, and suspenseful goal-approach staging patterns.

Fitness & Wellness Animation Principles
Apply Disney's 12 principles to create motivating, energizing experiences that celebrate achievement and support healthy habits.
The 12 Principles Applied
1. Squash & Stretch

5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action

- Running Routes: Curved path visualization
- Gesture Controls: Natural arced movements
8. Secondary Action

10. Exaggeration

Industry Timing Standards

|---|---|---|
| Button Press | 150ms | ease-out |
| Ring Complete | 600ms | spring |
| Workout Transition | 250ms | ease-in-out |
| Meditation Fade | 500ms | ease-in-out |
| Achievement Pop | 800ms | custom-bounce |
Key Principle
