Exercise safety
MoveCombo is a game, not medical advice. It doesn't diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and doesn't promise fitness results. If in doubt, talk to a doctor before you play.
Before you start
- Check with a doctor first if you have a heart, lung, joint, back, shoulder, elbow or wrist condition, high blood pressure, are pregnant, or are recovering from an injury or surgery.
- Warm up for a minute or two — arm circles and a few easy reps.
- Clear a space about 2 m × 1 m on a flat, dry, non-slip surface. A mat helps your hands and knees.
Setting up your phone
- Lean the phone against something heavy and stable, or use a stand, so it can't tip or slide.
- Keep it out of your path — never somewhere you might land on it or step on it.
- Don't hold the phone or reach for it mid-rep. Pause the game by simply standing up or moving out of view.
While you play
- Move at your own pace. Beginner mode is designed for a slow, controlled rhythm.
- Knee push-ups are completely fine — keep your back straight and core gently engaged.
- Quality over quantity: a smooth, full rep counts; rushing doesn't help your score.
- Breathe. Take breaks between games and drink water.
Stop immediately if you feel
- Pain — especially in the chest, shoulders, wrists or lower back
- Dizziness, light-headedness or nausea
- Unusual shortness of breath or a racing or irregular heartbeat
Seek medical help if symptoms don't settle quickly. No score is worth an injury — the game will always be there tomorrow.
A note on rep counting
The App estimates your movement from the camera. Lighting, clothing, camera angle and other people in view can affect it, so counts may occasionally be off. Treat the numbers as part of the game, not as training data.
