Recording tips

  • Face the camera head-on so it can see your knees track over your toes.
  • Stand back far enough that your whole body stays in frame at the bottom.
  • Good, even lighting — avoid strong backlight behind you.
  • Keep it under ~30 seconds.

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

Faults the AI detects

Knees caving inFix

Your knees are collapsing inward — push them out so they track over your toes.

Heels liftingWatch

Your heels are lifting — sit back and keep your weight through mid-foot.

Excessive forward leanWatch

You're leaning too far forward — keep your chest up and sit down more.

Not reaching depthMinor

Try to squat a little deeper — aim for hips near knee height (if mobility allows).
