Where to put the phone

Face the phone, whole body in frame, feet hip-width apart.

Face the phone. This movement reads best when both sides of the body are visible at once.

What closes a rep

Bend to one side, come back upright. Every return to upright counts.

What makes the counter wait

A shrug is not a bend. The torso has to lean clearly to the side before it comes back.

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. This is one of the movements a break can ask for, because it needs nothing but standing room.

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 →
