You have two options for adding custom demo videos to exercises:

Option A: Add YouTube videos

  1. Upload to YouTube: Upload your demo video to your YouTube channel
  2. Copy Video URL: Copy the URL of the YouTube video
  3. Paste Video URL: Paste the YouTube video URL into the "Exercise Video" field
  4. Save Changes: Save the changes to update the exercise with the YouTube video

Option B: Upload your own videos

  1. Select Upload Option: Choose the upload video option in the exercise details
  2. Choose Video File: Select your custom video file from your device (MP4, MOV, or other common video formats)
  3. Upload Video: The video will be uploaded and attached to the exercise
  4. Save Changes: Save the changes to update the exercise with your custom video

Note: Ensure that the visibility setting of the YouTube video is set to "Public" or "Unlisted" for it to play properly. "Private" videos will not be accessible.

Benefits of custom videos

  • Personalized Demonstrations: Show exercises exactly how you want them performed
  • Client-Specific Form: Create videos tailored to individual client needs or limitations
  • Consistency: Ensure all clients see the same proper form and technique
  • Flexibility: Choose between YouTube for easy sharing or direct uploads for complete control

By personalizing exercise instructions and adding custom demo videos, you can provide tailored guidance to your clients and ensure they perform exercises with proper form and technique.
