Where to put the phone
On hands and knees, phone low and at a three-quarter angle so the working leg is visible against the floor.
Stand at roughly 45° to the phone. The counter still reads the cycle from the front or the side; the angle only decides how much technique detail the camera can see.
What closes a rep
Kick the heel up and back, bring the knee back under the hip. Every kick counts.
What makes the counter wait
Keep the hands planted. A tabletop that drifts up turns the movement into something else.
Alternating movements are counted on every drive. A repeat on the same side is still counted, it is just not ranked, and the recap shows “alternate sides” as the advisory.
One tip
Alternate sides or run one leg per set, both read correctly.
After the set
Every set ends with the same recap: reps counted, time, pace, the longest run, pauses, whether the second half held up, and the camera angle the phone actually saw. Technique detail is measured for the recap and never used to refuse a rep. Why we count and do not grade →
