Hi There

It would be interesting to have for each exercise which muscles are targeted (primarily & secondary)  
For some exercises it’s pretty obvious but sometimes it’s not.

+1 – I completely agree! That would be a great feature and I would think that it would be pretty easy to implement 😃 It seems like they already have that information in their database since the system can calculate the body parts affected in each workout.

Need this too, especially for stretches so I _know_ where I need to feel the stretch.
