Instructions
  1. 1Set up on the bench with eyes under the bar and grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  2. 2Retract and depress your shoulder blades, planting your feet firmly on the floor.
  3. 3Unrack the bar and position it directly over your chest with arms fully extended.
  4. 4Lower the bar under control to touch your mid-chest, keeping elbows at about 45 degrees.
  5. 5Press the bar back up in a slight arc to full lockout without bouncing off the chest.
  6. 6Repeat for the desired reps, then rack the bar safely.
Coaching tips
  • Keep your shoulder blades retracted and wrists stacked over your elbows.
  • Avoid flaring elbows fully out to protect the shoulders.
  • Maintain full-body tension with feet driving into the floor.
  • Do not bounce the bar off the chest; control the eccentric.

Prefer to self-host? Every plan streams the library through the Your Move API and CDN - always fast, always up to date, nothing for you to host or maintain. On Scale and Enterprise your app can also cache videos on the user's device for offline workouts. And if you'd rather run the files on your own infrastructure, we offer that as a separate self-hosting license - happy to talk it through. .

How Your Move compares

White-background videos for a consistent app look

Most APIs ship unprofessional clips or only GIFs. We give real, professionally filmed videos on clean white and gym backgrounds, side by side with the alternatives.

*A few gym-machine exercises aren't available in white background yet. We're working hard to add them soon; for now those ship with a gym background.

Exercise API FAQ

Questions, answered

What is an exercise database API?
An exercise database API gives your app programmatic access to a structured library of exercises: names, muscle groups, equipment, difficulty, instructions and videos. You query it over REST and render the results directly in your fitness app.
How many exercises does the API include?
The library includes 1,374+ exercises, each with a professional white-background HD video, thumbnails, step-by-step instructions and muscle data, covering 15 muscle groups and 31 equipment types, plus yoga poses.
Do the exercises include videos and instructions?
Yes. Every exercise ships with an HD video over HLS streaming, thumbnails, written instructions, and primary and secondary muscle information.
Can the API also generate workouts and training programs?
Yes. Beyond the exercise database, the API generates complete workouts by muscle group, equipment and difficulty, and builds multi-week training programs for muscle building, weight loss, strength and endurance. See the Workout API page.
How is this different from ExerciseDB or wger?
Your Move is the only exercise API in this comparison with professional HD videos on every exercise, plus workout generation, program building and AI posture analysis. See the comparison table above for a feature-by-feature breakdown.
