Would _love_ to see a community sourced database of "explain it like I'm 5" translations. Example: What does "Bent Over Lateral Raise" mean? Show me? Lateral ... to what? I'm sure I can figure that out, but, for the newbies of the world it's another hurdle to keep them from actually starting/moving.

darebee.com (similar website in terms of being a database of fitness stuff, mostly bodyweight-oriented) does a great job of this with some of their videos.

Oh, it's a lateral (vs rear) delt raise. That would have helped.

  No 5 year old would understand that. I'm way past 5yo and I do not understand.

    A 5-year-old who knows anatomy might. You're raising something from your side (lateral) with your shoulder (deltoid muscle).

Hope this isn't too over the top, but we built exactly this with https://impossiblefitness.com/movement/lateral-raise https://impossiblefitness.com/movement/lateral-raise Written demo, video, photo, etc of each movement. We are adding more movements daily. Please give me a shout if there's other information you'd want to see here.

  One thing I'd love to see here is better formatting of the instructions. The content is great, but I found it a little jumbled to read. Here's an image of the current format, and an image of a proposed format as an example of what I mean. https://imgur.com/a/rXPU4nr https://imgur.com/a/rXPU4nr

    Bumped into an issue with formatting. Cleaning this up this week. Anything else structural wise you'd like to see?

      I'll dig around and see if anything comes to mind later. I love stuff like this, so I'm happy to provide some feedback.
