Steps to retain an exercise
- Go to Account Page
- Click on My Exercise Library
- From the list of your exercises, locate the one which you want to retrain.
- Click on “…” three dots, next to that exercise name.
- Click on Re-Train.
Starting of the training session
- The app will show you a 5 seconds’ countdown. Get into position for your exercise.
- After the 5 seconds’ countdown, you will have 60 seconds to perform your exercise.
Here are some of the tips to ensure that your exercise gets training properly
- You do not have to train for the entire minute -- you can end the training at any time. What is important is that you make sure you do 8-12 reps with consistent and repetitive movements when training.
- If the exercise requires weights, try to add only a small amount of weight. We found that it's better to add a small resistance instead of trying to perform the exercise in the air.
- If you can do well beyond 12 reps, then more is better.
- Make sure the wristband and shoeclip are fastened securely. Your devices should not wiggle around while moving.
- If you are having trouble training an exercise, please make sure you follow the tips above. If you are still having issues, shoot over an email to support@biostrap.com and we'll assist you right away.
If you have done these three steps but still have no luck, we recommend trying again later.
