    I am so lost here. Are you suggesting that many people buy mirrors linked to the internet these days so that they can mimic figures displayed on that mirror in order to get their physical exercise in? Does the “mirror” need to be plugged in constantly(electricity/internet)? Is it even a mirror, or is it really just a shiny screen with a camera?

    No bad faith intended here. I’d love for you to give me the name of the product - it just seems so odd to me.

      This “mirror” is actually a big screen. What the reflection is for is so that you observe yourself performing actions, like you would do at the gym. What the screen is for is essentially your own personal trainer in your home. There are thousands of classes/sessions available for various exercises. It does have a web cam as well so you can have an actual personal trainer correct your form, but I have never used that part of it. Honestly it is pretty good, just priced too high for the monthly fees ($45).

      I think this is Peloton—it’s a mirror with a monitor inside and a camera. You do aerobics with an instructor or in classes.
