"Too hard" / "Too easy" button
planned

The automatic suggestions are sometimes off, which could be due to wrong estimation of your level, wrong estimation of the exercise difficulty, or wrong algorithm logic for the automatic selection.
Letting the user ask for another suggestion, either easier or harder, would not only improve the flow, so that they can quickly find a better suggestion, but it could also be used to improve the experience level calculation, fix exercises characterization, and improve the suggestion algorithm.

Just wanted to add the context of my recent use case relating to this, specifically the "bad form" option mentioned below.
I've had the app for quite a while but only recently started using it steadily, starting out with the various "foundation" objectives. So, in particular with basic flexibility stretches for time e.g. pike stretch, my hamstring flexibility is the limit and I still can't quite hold a straight leg on a deep bend (though quickly getting better!).
But, I can still I can stretch it for the duration and because of that am "mastering" exercises that realistically are failures I need to work on the most before progressing.

Would love that

Note: besides the reasons too hard / too easy, we could also have: "bad form, needs more work" and "keep it as it is (lock)".
EDIT: new request for another option to keep it for some time: "remind me in /SELECT NUMBER/ sessions"

If labelled too difficult, will the readiness for an exercise be adapted?
Louis Deveseleer
Gerard van Papendrecht: Maybe. If anything, we could potentially dynamically adapt the experience profile of the user, and the exercise readiness would be adapted as a consequence, since exercise readiness depends on your experience.
I think what would be more important is to use that information to tweak the exercise characterization and experience profile calculation, so that we don't suggest exercises that are too hard anymore.

Louis Deveseleer that would be even better
