Prototype stage
The "FlexFit" app is currently in the prototype stage of the UX design thinking process. This phase focuses on transforming ideas and concepts into physical interactive representation that will show how the app will look and work.

1. Identify and prioritize the most crucial features and functionalities for each section of the app.
2. Create low-fidelity wireframes that illustrating the basic layout of the apps content and feature
3. Create a mid-fidelity prototype that includes more advanced features like descriptive text, clickable buttons, links, and other design components that the user can interact with. Make sure that the prototype is accessible and follows the interaction design principle. Prepare the mid fidelity wireframe for prototype testing
4. Create a high fidelity prototype that includes all design elements that closely resemble the final product that the user can interact with. Make sure that the prototype is accessible and follows the interaction design principle. Prepare the high fidelity wireframe for prototype testing
