Workout Trainer AI launches video-based Form Feedback

Train like you have a personal trainer by your side! The latest Workout Trainer AI app update introduces video-based Form Feedback, now in beta. With a simple video of yourself exercising, our AI tech gives you a report that includes your Form Score, Consistency Score, and highlights your Strengths, Areas for Improvement. It also deep dives into the Critical Movements that matter most for each exercise. Perfect your technique, maximize your results, and make every movement count. Let’s learn how smart form analysis can take your training to the next level while preventing injury.


How to get your Form Feedback

On the Form tab (formerly Exercise tab), Browse to an exercise and tap the Form Feedback button. You will then see the workout player with an overlay that will help you position yourself to be recorded for video-based analysis. Get set up with a good view of yourself, either in landscape or portrait mode. When you’re ready, tap the START button and we’ll give you a ‘3, 2, 1’ countdown to get into position. Perform the exercise while staying in-frame for 30 seconds.

Once we’ve captured a nice video clip of you exercising, our AI-powered tech gives you your Form Feedback performance report. Here is an example of what it looks like:

Play any one of our thousands of exercises and discover your Form Score and Consistency Score! Each Form Report also comes with a recap of the exercise you just performed and includes an exercise-specific deep dive.

STRENGTHS
Let’s start with all the good stuff you are doing while performing the exercise. Big pat on the back for showing up and following along as best you can!

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
This section provides an in-depth form analysis to help you make the biggest gains.

CRITICAL SCORES
Here we’ll drill down on 3-6 focus areas for the exercise. You will get individual scores for these areas if we can assess it in-video.

CONSISTENCY TIMELINE
Based on your 30 second exercise video, we will go through and point out specific moments that are worth paying attention to. We’ll add a score for this movement in time, which helps us derive your overall Form Score and Consistency Score.

At the bottom of the report, there are options for even more insight including:

Form Leaders

This page showcases some of the best exercise video demonstrations by our community. If you a public member, you have a chance to be ranked on relevant leaderboards. If you are a private member, you will not be considered in the exercise leaderboard rankings.

Form Charts

We encourage your to do exercises on a regular basis! As you repeat exercises with Form Feedback reports, you’ll see charts outlining how your Form Score, Consistency Score, and Critical Scores are tracking over time.

View Session Data

You’ll find our standard summary info here including your Heart Rate Summary Data. Refer to our recommendations for HR monitors and tap on this blog post to see how connecting to a heart rate enabled smartwatch or chest strap can really elevate your training.

Ready to level up?! Head on over to the FORM tab and browse thousands of exercises you can get Form Feedback on. Tap on the MY HISTORY or MY BEST options to see a list of exercises you’ve completed with Form Feedback.



Tips for Recording Exercise Videos for Form Feedback

Recording exercise videos for AI-powered analysis is easier than you think. With just your smartphone, a stable setup, and the right environment, you can capture footage that will give you the most accurate insight and help improve your technique. Here are our top 3 tips to recording those high-quality workout clips:

1. Light it Up

Record in a well-lit space with plenty of natural light if possible. Open the curtains and turn on overhead lights. Bright, even lighting helps the AI detect your form more accurately. Tap here for an simple light ring with tripod that works with most phones.

2. Clean Background

Aim for an uncluttered space with minimal distractions. A plain wall — like a white or light-colored one — helps the AI focus on your movements, not your surroundings.

3. Stable View Framing Your Whole Body

Use a tripod or a steady surface to position your phone. Make sure your entire body stays in the frame throughout the movement — not too zoomed in, and not too far away. Use an angle that will show the most movement, which could be face-on, your side profile, or even your backside. Tap here for our affordable yet effective small tripod recommendation.

Workout Trainer AI Launches GPS Distance Workouts

Are you a multi-sport enthusiast who can’t help but smile after an outdoor run, a follow-along workout video, and a brutal weightlifting session? Well, major news flash! You can do all that and more with the latest Workout Trainer AI app update.

We now support distance-based workouts and mixed workouts that combine different types of movement…for instance, you could do a workout consisting of warm-up jumping jacks, 12 push-ups, a 1-mile run, burpees until failure, then some cool-down stretching. Sound like your jam? Great! Let’s take a look at how it works.

Tracking Your GPS Distance Workouts

When you play an outdoor distance-based workout, start the GPS tracking and enable location sharing on your device. We’ll capture your GPS details to map out your path.

After completing your workout, we’ll summarize your efforts with a map of our your route. Of course, you can customize who gets to see your maps in your app’s Account Settings.

Creating GPS Distance Workouts

You can create distance workouts by adding at least one distance-based exercise with a target distance or duration. Choose ‘Distance-based’ instead of our standard Timed or Repetition-based options.

  • If you are going for a specific distance, make sure it’s greater than 30 yards to ensure the most accurate GPS data.
  • If you are going for time, try to aim for at least 20 seconds for better GPS accuracy.

Try Our Top Running Workouts! A great way to get familiar with our new distance workouts is to play one:

  • Running for Beginners | Basic walk and jog workout that can get anyone into running. After completing this workout 2-5 times, your body will be in shape to start jogging and running for a longer period of time. You’ll feel great doing this in a park or along a scenic path.
  • Around The Block | This is a nicely timed walk/jog circuit you can easily do around your neighborhood or at a park. Bring the dog along!
  • Happy Park Run | This is a fun interval style running workout for anyone looking to improve their 5K or parkrun time.
  • Cardio: Walk/Run | Time to switch up the cardio! A little bit of interval training won’t hurt you!
  • Outdoor Explorer | Get that sun-kissed glow as you attend to some outdoor adventures! For this workout, you will need a little space so we recommend that you complete it in your backyard or at the park.
  • Standard Interval Run | Get going with this straightforward timed interval run! We will warm up with 5 minutes of jogging then get into five rounds of running and jogging intervals before cooling down.
  • Dynamic Duo | This workout is second to none! Well maybe Batman and Robin could be more legendary…but who really cares. These two sets of dynamic movement circuits will help you move and look like your heroes!
  • Classic Interval Run | Intervals are a bit harder than running at a simple, steady pace. Get excited to make this style of running part of your training routine to make your steady pace running feel easier.
  • Sprinting Speed | Want to train like a sprinter? Sprinters typically have strong, lean body types and their training is a large reason why. Get a jump start on training like a sprinter with this 15 minute mixed workout. All you need is a set of moderate to heavy weighted dumbbells. Stay balanced with a healthy-minded lifestyle beyond the run.
  • Running Sprints | This is a 40 minute HIIT-style workout which will help you increase your speed.
  • High Intensity Running | HIIT runs help runners build overall strength. Challenge yourself to go fast during these short burst running intervals.
  • Tough Tempo Run | Perform run intervals going at tempo pace with 8 min recovery time in between the three sets. Make sure you warm up and cool down on your own.
  • Intense Track Run | Head to your neighborhood / school track. This is a great way to get some miles in if you’re training for a long race and need to stay local.
  • 20 Min Running Interval | The title says it all. Have fun with this running HIIT. When you do your sprints, aim for a 9 out of 10 effort. Try to be consistent in your pace across sprinting intervals.
  • 1-2-3 Running Workout | Get some mileage with this variable distance interval-style run. The core of this running workout will have you making strides at your marathon pace and then easier pace. This is a longer (2+ hour) workout so remember to pace yourself!

Our first GPS-based distance building program, Training Plan: 5K Race, is a great way to prepare for your first 5K run or get race-ready.

Training Plan: 5K Running Race

More ideas can be found within our Running, Walking, and Biking workout categories.

Mixed Running & Bodyweight Challenges

In addition, below are some Spartan-style mixed running and bodyweight exercise challenges that might suit your fancy:

  • Spartan Run I | Start easing in to a Spartan training regiment, which combines running, (kneeling) push-ups and crunches.
  • Spartan Run II | Did you complete the ‘casual’ Spartan Run I? Time to level up with this slightly harder variation.
  • Spartan Mixer | Build endurance, agility, speed, and muscle with this two block set. You’ll feel it in your arms, legs, and abs tomorrow! ;p

As heart rate-enabled smartwatches become increasingly popular and accessible, we’re excited to share the top choices that seamlessly integrate with the Workout Trainer AI app .

USE CASE: You repeat a cardio endurance fitness test where you want to stay in Zone 3 for more of your workout. You can compare your Max and Average BPM at a glance by comparing past workouts:

Training Focus Stats
With your Workout Trainer Pro+ membership, you’ll get an in-depth breakdown of two key training systems: Strength Training and Aerobic Training. Strength Training, which focuses on weight lifting, is essential for building muscle and increasing bone density—both of which become even more critical as you age. Aerobic Training, involving activities like running, is designed to improve cardiovascular health and boost calorie burn. By incorporating both systems into your routine, you can achieve a well-rounded approach to fitness that enhances overall health and longevity.

Strength Training

Strength training encompasses three distinct approaches: Max Strength, Hypertrophy, and Muscular Endurance, each serving unique fitness goals.

  • Max Strength focuses on lifting heavy weights for short durations to maximize lifting capacity. Ideal for those aiming to enhance their maximum lifting ability.
  • Hypertrophy involves moderate weights and durations to increase muscle size, achieving the classic ‘bodybuilder’ physique.
  • Muscular Endurance targets lifting lighter weights for extended periods, perfect for boosting stamina and calorie burn.

Each method offers specific advantages, from Max Strength’s role in muscle building and bone strengthening to Muscular Endurance’s benefits for heart health and endurance. Tailoring your regimen to incorporate these techniques can lead to more comprehensive fitness improvements.

Aerobic Training

Aerobic training is categorized into Low Aerobic, High Aerobic, and Anaerobic. We’ve also added a ‘Warmup’ type to help further monitor your activity levels. While warming up is crucial for preparing the body for more intense activity, shifting from ‘Warmup’ to the primary aerobic types intensifies calorie burn and encourages more fitness gains.

  • Low Aerobic: Engage in prolonged, low-intensity exercise for cardiovascular health and calorie burning.
  • High Aerobic: Perform moderate-intensity workouts for balanced endurance and heart benefits.
  • Anaerobic: Embrace short, high-intensity sessions to enhance speed and strength.

Each category targets specific fitness objectives, from endurance in Low Aerobic to power in Anaerobic.

Tips for Seeing the Best Stats

To see the best stats on this page, make sure you do the following when completing each workout in Workout Trainer:

  1. Log your RPE after each workout. This will help you see how hard you worked during each workout.
  2. Enter any weights / resistance used for each exercise during the workout or afterwards via the ‘Log Details’ button. This will allow us to calculate a more accurate load score.

The same applies if you are logging individual exercises.

Protein Powder & Recovery Workout Recommendations

Whether you’re crushing a heavy lifting session, clocking miles on the track, or doing bodyweight workouts at home, there are two things your body craves after any workout: recovery and protein. But why exactly are recovery routines and post-workout protein so essential? Let’s break things down with protein first and then offer cool-down and rest-day training tips.

The Power of Protein After Exercise

During exercise, your muscles experience tiny tears, especially after strength training or high-intensity workouts. This is normal! It’s actually how your body gets stronger. The protein from the food you eat is made up of amino acids—basically the building blocks for your muscles, tendons, organs, and skin. When you work out hard, your body breaks down and rebuilds protein more quickly, so athletes need more protein in their diet to keep up.

Protein swoops in post-workout to help repair micro-tears, rebuild muscle fibers, and boost muscle protein synthesis. Without enough protein, you might feel sluggish, experience prolonged soreness, and miss out on those gains you’ve been working so hard for.

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?

When it comes to protein intake, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Your needs depend on your activity level, body weight, age, and fitness goals. Here’s a simple guide to help:

Protein Intake Recommendation

The federal guideline and many other authoritative bodies like National Academy of Sciences and American College of Sports Medicine recommend a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight for adults in general. The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) recommends that athletes consume protein ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 g/kg/day. If your mind works in pounds, The American College of Sports Medicine, athletes should aim for 0.6 – 1.0 g/lb/day.

Protein consumption should be spread out throughout your day with an emphasis of obtaining a significant amount within 1-2 hours of completing your training sessions. ➡️ Older adults benefit from slightly higher protein to help with muscle maintenance.

Daily Protein Intake

  • Ages 18-39:
    0.6 – 1.0 grams per pound of body weight
    (or 1.4 – 2.0 grams per kg)
  • Ages 40+:
    0.8 – 1.2 grams per pound of body weight
    (or 1.8 – 2.6 grams per kg)

Post-Workout Protein

  • 0.15 – 0.25 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight
    (or 0.3 – 0.55 grams per kg)
  • Ages 40+: Again, aim for the higher end of the general recommendations

🏋️

BodyweightPost-Workout ProteinDaily Protein (18-39 yrs)Daily Protein (40+ yrs)
100 lbs (45 kg)15-25 g70-100 g80-110 g
150 lbs (68 kg)22-37 g105-150 g120-165 g
200 lbs (91 kg)30-50 g140-200 g160-220 g
250 lbs (113 kg)37-62 g175-250 g200-275 g

1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (or 0.55 to 0.77 grams per pound) per day can support muscle repair and growth. These amounts should be split between your post-workout shake and meals throughout the day, whatever deems most convenient and fitting for your busy schedule.

Why Choose a Whey Protein Isolate?

If you can’t access a protein-rich whole foods meal after your sweat sessions, opt for a premium protein powder. Remember: not all protein powders are created equal. When scanning the supplement shelves, you’ll notice whey concentrate, casein, plant-based blends, and whey isolate.

Here’s why whey protein isolate stands out:

  • Higher purity: Whey isolate goes through additional filtering to remove more fat, carbs, and lactose compared to regular whey concentrate.
  • Faster absorption: It’s rapidly digested and absorbed, making it ideal for that critical post-workout window (about 30-60 minutes after training).
  • Lower lactose content: Great for people who are lactose-sensitive but still want the benefits of dairy-based protein.
  • Lean and clean: Higher protein content per serving with fewer extras you don’t need.

Our Pick: Introducing Skimble’s 100% Pure Whey Isolate

If you’re looking for a premium, no-nonsense whey isolate, try Skimble’s new 100% Whey Protein Isolate, available in Chocolate and Vanilla. We wanted something that could be our go-to when on-the-go and here’s what we netted on:

  • 100% whey protein isolate with 18g of protein per scoop
  • Non-GMO, vegetarian, and gluten free
  • Zero added sugars and minimal ingredients
  • Naturally flavored and sweetened with stevia extract
  • Third-party tested for quality and purity

Our proteins are ideal for athletes chasing peak performance or anyone who wants a clean, effective protein boost after a solid sweat session. Right now, our protein powders are available to ship within the USA.

The Bottom Line

Keeping up with your daily protein goals helps with muscle maintenance. Nailing your post-workout nutrition is just as important as the workout itself. By fueling your body with the right amount of high-quality protein—including a protein-heavy whole foods diet and Skimble’s 100% Whey Protein Isolate (in vanilla and chocolate)—you’ll recover faster and feel ready to tackle your next session.

So next time you rack those weights or finish your run, don’t forget to protein blast! 😉
