LIVEHOW TO DO A PROPER GOOD MORNING
Setup Stand side-on to the camera, weight across your upper back, knees soft.
- Hinge at the hips, pushing them back as your torso lowers.
- Keep your back flat and feel a hamstring stretch.
- Drive your hips forward to stand tall.
Same sheet as the ⓘ panel in the app — animated demo included.
THREE STEPS TO A SCORED GOOD MORNING
Prop your phone and get in frame
Phone at roughly torso height, set up side-on to the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.
The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you
GOODREPS measures your hip angle (shoulder → hip → knee) on-device — no wearables. Empty bar or light barbell across the upper back — build load slowly.
Move — and watch the form bar
The bar fills from ~160° toward ~90° at the bottom. Cut range short and it tells you; full ROM is what counts.
WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES
- Your hip hinge — torso tipping toward roughly 90° with a soft knee.
- A flat back from head to hips — rounding ends the honest rep.
- Driving the hips through to stand tall at 160°.
COMMON GOOD MORNING MISTAKES
Bending from the waist like a crunch
Push hips back. The fold is a hinge, not a spinal curl.
Soft, rounded upper back
Brace as if you are about to be poked in the stomach. Ribs down, chest long.
Knees locking hard then unlocking
Keep a gentle soft knee the whole time so the hips own the motion.
Going too deep too soon
Stop where hamstrings say hello. Depth is earned, not forced.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Pose detection runs in your browser via TensorFlow.js. Camera frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing leaves your phone, and we never see them. Sign-in is optional; skip it and everything stays local.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Do I need any equipment to check my good morning form?
Just your phone for most variations. Add free weights when the pattern is clean — the app still scores the movement either way.
Does it work in a home gym or low light?
Run the built-in camera test first — it checks your lighting, distance, and angle with live green checks before you start. If a rep still slips through, manual counting is always one tap away.
Is my camera feed uploaded anywhere?
No. Pose detection runs entirely on your phone, in your browser. Frames are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded — nothing is recorded, nothing is uploaded.
