Follow-up: Have you ever felt limited due to the lack of certain features in equipment? Can you give an example?

– How do you ensure standardized back training without a fitness trainer?

Follow-up: What methods have you tried to ensure training quality? Which ones are most effective?
Follow-up: Have you ever felt confused or unsure due to the lack of professional guidance? How did you resolve it?

Follow-up: Do you have a long-term training plan? If so, what drives you to stay motivated?

Challenges

We find that many individuals fail to consistently engage in effective back muscle exercises due to challenges such as lack of motivation, incorrect exercise techniques, and absence of real-time feedback, leading to increased risk of back pain and injuries.

Lack of Motivation: difficult to forming habits. Maintaining interest in a workout routine can be difficult without variety in exercises.
Improper Techniques: Without professional guidance, there is a high risk of performing exercises incorrectly, which can lead to ineffective workouts or, worse, injuries.
Lack of Feedback: Training at home generally lacks immediate feedback on performance and technique.
