How to pause between cool down exercises

How do I pause the Cool Down moves in between, so i can get in position for the next one.
They transition so fast, I can’t get in place before it starts the next move.

Hey Joyce, welcome to the Forum :wave:t2:

This is something that does come up from time to time, and we do collect feedback on this so I’ll make sure to add your voice to this discussion.

At the moment it’s not possible to “pause” a cooldown although this is something that we might consider in the future.

Hi Ben!
Just to mention, I’m also missing such a feature. Something like a setting to change the time from 5 to 7 or 10 sec would be cool.

Hey Aleks, first of all a huge welcome to the Forum :wave:t2: and thanks for your input on this subject as well :clapclapstatic:

I, too, consider the transition between some exercises a bit too fast, especially with the cooldown part.
When i just need to change the side or when i need to change from “chest stretch” to “triceps stretch”, 5 secs are ok…but when we start to talk about going from cobra to pigeon it’s a completely different story, especially if you’re not familiar with the exercise.
I don’t know how much difficult it can be to set different “preparation timers” for different type of exercises?
Maybe i’m going too far now but why not giving different timers that everyone can choose the first few times before the coach start to use them automatically?

I’m only in position when the first stretch is already over :joy:

I would love the ability to pause it, or even start the cooldown all over again? I found once it’s started, too bad too sad.

Gentle flag that this is still not fixed since 2021.

My stretching exercises are unstoppable once it has started. Maybe I need to drink some water. Maybe my phone rings. Maybe I am taking a while grabbing the foam roller. Maybe I cannot set up everything as fast. The time is ticking. I have 5 seconds left of the foam rolling I just started aaaaaand it already jumped to 30 sec child pose.

You can :point_down:

Uhm, not really. That’s a workaround not a real pause. The video icon downloads the video. I can’t be downloading all the videos on mobile data plus that download itself takes a few seconds.

Hi @wica93,
It’s indeed a workaround as there is not a lot of demand regarding this possibility, and such a feature to pause during cooldown has never been a candidate for future improvements. However, rest assured that I’ll forward your request to the product team. I hope the workaround is still helpful. You can download the videos when you’re on a wifi connection, so it won’t use your cellular data; once it’s saved to your phone, you won’t need to do it again.

Hello Sylvain,

If I may intrude in the discussion, the perception I have from the countless forum publications repeatedly noting this situation is that there is a lot of demand for a pause feature (though you probably have different data).
