Missing exercise animations

Ismar I 11 months ago updated by Carl Juneau, PhD 1 month ago 2

Some exercises have very helpful animations of what I’ll call “Mr. Muscle” to show the movements for an exercise. For some exercises, however, those are missing completely. Each and every exercise in the app should have such an animation. This inconsistency isn't great.

Examples of exercises where animations are missing:

  • Plate row
  • Barbell shoulder press
  • Standing barbell triceps extension

This is just from from my workout program. There could be far more exercises missing an animation.

Hi guys,

You are correct: we have hundreds of exercises in the app, and they don't all have videos because that would make the app quite a hefty download. You can, however, tap "..." and "Video instructions" next to all exercises to learn more.

I can see this is getting more and more votes. We'll be happy to look into ways to fit more videos into the app (perhaps at a smaller size) when this becomes the top-requested feature.

Thanks for your feedback!

yes, it is a little bit inconsistent. Some exercises have animation some not. I am not sure if it a bug or some intention that I do not understand
