Recording tips

  • Place the camera at floor level to your side so it sees your whole body line.
  • Keep your head, hips and heels in frame the entire rep.
  • Good lighting on your side profile — avoid shadows.
  • Keep it under ~30 seconds.

Better lighting and a full body in frame give the AI a more accurate score.

Faults the AI detects

Hips saggingFix

Your hips are dropping — squeeze your glutes and brace your core to hold a straight line.

Hips too highWatch

Your hips are piking up — lower them so your body forms one straight line.

Not going deep enoughMinor

Go a bit lower — aim to bring your chest toward the floor (elbows ~90°).
