HOW TO HOLD A PROPER WARRIOR II

Setup  Face the camera, feet wide apart, front toes forward, back foot turned in.

  1. Bend your front knee until it stacks over the ankle.
  2. Reach both arms out at shoulder height, gaze over the front hand.
  3. Keep the back leg straight and strong; hold, then switch sides.
Form cue: Front knee over ankle, arms level

How The Check Works

THREE STEPS TO A SCORED HOLD

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 knee angle (hip → knee → ankle) against the pose target (~115°) on-device — no wearables. No equipment — a wide stance and something to look at past your front hand.

3

Settle in — the timer only counts real alignment

The hold timer runs while you’re in the pose. Drift out and it pauses (doesn’t reset) until you find the shape again.

Under The Hood

WHAT THE CAMERA WATCHES

Fix These First

COMMON WARRIOR II MISTAKES

Front knee drifting inward

The knee wants to cave toward your big toe. Press it gently out so it stacks straight over the ankle — that's the alignment the camera is watching.

Stance too short

A narrow warrior is a lunge in denial. Step wide enough that your front thigh can sink toward parallel without the knee passing the ankle.

Leaning over the front leg

The torso stays stacked over the hips — centered between both legs, not tipping toward the front hand.

Arms drooping as you tire

The arms are the first thing fatigue negotiates with. Reach actively through both fingertips, shoulders soft.

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

How long should I hold Warrior II?

Start with 20–30 seconds a side and build toward a minute. The hold timer only counts time you're actually aligned, so your streak is honest.

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.

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.
