I was trying to keep up with Miss Wr, during the "Draai je hoofd" exercise, but that's impossible because she turns her head instantaneously. My neck simply won't allow for that. Basically, we need, between two exercise frames, some additional time to assume the correct position for performing the exercise. The simple solution would be to display all frames one second longer than is done now, to allow for this. Somewhat more sophisticated whould be to introduce some visual effect when switching between frames. The effect should last about one second

I'll opt for the simple solution. I am still a bit puzzled why the turn-your-head exercises is set to two seconds, but the tilt your head is set to five. Do you think there is a medical reason for that, or is setting both to five a better option?

I have no medical expertise, and hence I do not really want to involve me in exercises. Over the years I've seen many. Most of them geared towards an individual situation, because different bodies often call for different exercises. Most important thing I've learned from that, is that I do not know nearly enough to tell others what to exercise. As for this particular exercise, I guess it depends on what the original goal of the exercise was. As a rule of thumb, short times lead to you changing position often, preventing muscles from becoming stiff. Longer times allow additional blood to flow, having more of a "healing" effect. Even longer times can cause damage. If I recall correctly, the additional blood flow starts after about five seconds. Most stretches in sports last about 9 seconds. My personal favourite is somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds for most exercises. Just do what works for you, and if that doesn't help, go see your favourite therapist.

Okay, the animation now flips every 3 seconds instead of two.
