Exercise Animations on Apple Watch

I have a suggestion to improve the workout experience for Apple Watch users.
It would be extremely helpful if we could see the exercise animations or GIFs directly on the Apple Watch screen during a set or while resting. Currently, having to check the phone to remember the proper form for a specific exercise breaks the workout flow.
Being able to see the movement on our wrist would make the app much more independent and safer to use.
Thank you!

While viewing a workout on your Apple Watch, tap an exercise title to view an exercise preview with instructions and a demonstration video.

Workout animation on Apple Watch

Hi, I wanted to suggest an improvement for workouts.
The main issue is that there are no exercise animations on Apple Watch. During a workout, I have to take out my phone to see how an exercise is done, which is Uncomfortable and breaks the flow.
Also, even on iPhone, not all exercises have animations, so sometimes it’s still unclear how to perform them.
Many users (including me) are not professional athletes and don’t know all exercise names or how they should look in practice.
It would be really helpful if you could add animations for all exercises and make them Available directly on Apple Watch.
That would make the app much easier to use during workouts.

HI Helder Reis, you can currently see the exercise video if you click edit workout > scroll down and click the individual exercises. I recognize that this is a bit hidden so perhaps we can make it more front and center.
