That's not how workouts work, though. Each body is different, and people have different skill levels too. It's not like Just Dance
Using this type of method to check form makes a lot of sense. There were manny Kinect apps that did this.
Give a shot at wrnch.ai Disclosure I work there but people at hackathon can pull this off easily
That could be fun! I saw Sway app doing that for dance movements, but in fitness such tech for sure could be more useful.
