Tips for Best Experience

1. Warm up first — Start with Easy difficulty and work up
2. Use full arm movements — Wrist movements don't count as much
3. Include vertical motion — Squats and jumps earn bonus calories
4. Move your whole body — Head/body translation is rewarded
5. Stay in the zone — Maintain the target MET level for smooth playback
