An exercise snack only works if you can do the exercise. Snacksmate is more useful when the movements in front of you stay relevant: your ability today, the space you have, and the way you prefer to move.
Ordinary reasons to set an exercise aside
You do not need a dramatic reason. An exercise may feel too difficult. The room may not suit it. You may know the movement and simply prefer another one. Any of those is enough. Preferences exist so a mismatched exercise does not block a short session you would otherwise finish.
What you can influence
Snacksmate matches a snack to your activity level, your goals, and your exercise preferences, so you are not guessing from an undifferentiated list. During the session, the workout screen also lets you change the exercise without dropping the snack. Use that when the movement on screen is wrong for the room, or wrong for how you feel right now.
The aim is a list of movements that feels usable the moment it opens. Personalization should make the experience easier to use and more appropriate for you. It should not make the session longer.
Preferences sit inside the rest of Snacksmate, not off to the side. The weekly goal still counts snacks you finish. The workout screen still shows one movement at a time, with a short explanation and a timer. A preference is what keeps that movement from being the wrong one before you start, and Change Exercise is there if it still is.
What preferences do not do
Snacksmate does not decide whether an exercise is medically safe for you. Setting a preference is not a clinical assessment, and it does not replace advice from a clinician if you need that. You are choosing what fits. The app is not making a health ruling.
A session you will actually start
The best set of exercises is the one you do not have to negotiate with. When the movements in front of you are ones you can do, a few minutes stay a few minutes. That is the standard for this part of Snacksmate.
Discover the feature the next time a movement does not fit. Change the exercise, or set your preferences so the next snack starts closer to you.
