# Exercise Dataset — Free Tier (RepDB)

A free, ready-to-use **fitness exercise dataset**: **400 exercises**, each
illustrated with flat-style **512×512 WebP** images (a start/peak pose pair, or
a single main pose for static holds and stretches), with target muscles,
equipment, MET values, and full instructions in **English, German, and
Spanish**.

This is the free tier of [**RepDB**](https://repdb.co) — a curated, commercial-safe
exercise dataset. The full dataset keeps growing and adds 1024px images, the
classic illustration style with transparent backgrounds, and looping
animations — see [https://repdb.co/pricing](https://repdb.co/pricing).

## Files
- `exercises.json` — structured records (schema v3).
- `exercises.csv` — one row per exercise (pipe-separated list fields;
  `equipment` is empty for bodyweight-only moves).
- `images/flat/` — flat illustration, solid background, 512×512 WebP.
  Filenames: `<id>-start.webp` + `<id>-peak.webp`, or `<id>-main.webp` for
  single-pose exercises.
- `upgrade-samples/` — 5 looping exercise animations at Standard-tier quality
  (transparent-background WebP, the same clips shown on [https://repdb.co](https://repdb.co)) so
  you can judge the paid-tier assets — **evaluation-only**, not licensed for
  production use.
- `LICENSE.md` — the free-tier license (full text).
- `ATTRIBUTION.md` — copy-paste Markdown, HTML, and app-credit attribution.
