Demonstrate Exercise
Issue
Some exercises introduce new movements but do not allow users to rewatch the demonstration once the workout is in progress. This makes it hard to complete the movement correctly and can prevent the system from registering the motion.
Example
Lateral lunges in the challenge are new to me. By Day 5, there is no way to replay the instructions or see the demo again. Because of this, I struggle to understand correct form, and the movement often fails to register.
Suggested Improvements
Add a persistent option to replay exercise instructions and demonstrations during a workout. This could be a button or gesture that pauses the workout and shows the demo again.
Include a visual shadow or outline overlay on screen that shows where the body should move or land for proper detection. This would help users understand positioning in real time.
Consider a brief auto-replay of the demo when the system detects repeated failed reps. This would help users self-correct without breaking flow.
Why This Matters
These changes would reduce frustration for beginners, improve motion detection accuracy, and help users feel successful rather than confused when learning new movements.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions.
There is an option in the pause menu (?) button that will play the instruction video again.
As for auto-prompting some cues, or providing more visual and personalised feedback to improve your reps, this is something we're actively working on this year.
