HOW TO DO A PROPER JUMPING JACK

Setup  Stand facing the camera, feet together, arms at your sides.

  1. Jump your feet wide while raising your arms fully overhead.
  2. Jump back to the start.
  3. Keep a steady bouncing rhythm.
Form cue: Arms fully overhead

Same sheet as the ⓘ panel in the app — animated demo included.

How The Counting Works

HANDS-FREE IN THREE STEPS

1

Prop your phone and get in frame

Phone at roughly torso height, stand facing the camera. A quick camera test checks lighting, distance, and angle before you start.

2

The camera locks a 17-point skeleton on you

GOODREPS measures your shoulder angle (hip → shoulder → wrist) on-device — no wearables, no clickers. No equipment at all — anywhere you can swing your arms.

3

Just work — the counter does the counting

A rep banks at the bottom (~165°) and re-arms near ~18°. Half reps don’t count; after 3 clean reps it calibrates to your range.

Under The Hood

WHAT MAKES A REP COUNT

Form Still Matters

COMMON JUMPING JACK MISTAKES

Arms stopping at shoulder height

The half-jack. Swing all the way up — hands meeting (or nearly meeting) overhead is what makes the rep count.

Feet barely leaving the floor

A shuffle isn't a jump. Get both feet wide and back together with a real hop — light, springy, on the balls of your feet.

Landing stiff-legged

Straight-knee landings send the impact to your shins and knees. Land soft with a slight bend, like the floor is quietly loud.

Slouching as you tire

Posture is the first thing fatigue steals. Stay tall — ribs up, eyes forward — to the last rep.

Your Data

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Rep counting runs entirely on your device — your camera feed is never uploaded.

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.

FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Do I need any equipment for jumping jacks?

None at all — just a bit of space and your phone propped up facing you. Softer flooring or shoes help if you're jumping a lot.

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.
