Keep it in front of you
Point the camera toward your body rather than filming from the side or behind. Keep the phone upright and fixed while you train.
PushupAI guide
Where should you place your phone for push-ups?
Fix your phone directly in front of you, then make sure your head, shoulders, and torso are easy to see. A stable, well-lit view lets you focus on training.
The short answer
Three setup essentials
Keep your upper body visible
Before you begin, check that your head, shoulders, and torso are in frame. Try to keep your upper body visible as you move closer to the floor.
Train alone, with a stable view
Keep one person in the frame, avoid moving the phone, and choose a space with enough light to make your outline clear.
Before you start
A ten-second checklist
- Secure the phone. Use a stand, table, or another stable surface so it will not move during the set.
- Leave enough distance. Step back until your head, shoulders, and torso are visible together.
- Avoid backlight and very dim rooms. Make your body outline clear before you follow the in-app setup prompt.
- Wait for the ready prompt. Adjust your position first instead of rushing to count the first rep.
