Consider Starting Position or Posture:

Note Equipment Used:

Consider the equipment used, such as band, cable, plate, smith machine, machine, trap bar, EZ bar, or box.

Use Generic Equipment Names:

Instead of specific brand names, use generic terms. For example, search for "suspension" instead of "TRX".

Identify Major Muscle Groups or Body Parts:

Look for exercises targeting specific muscle groups or body parts like biceps curl, triceps extension, glute bridge, calf stretch, t-spine rotation, or belly breathing.

Recognize Movement Patterns:

Consider the type of movement involved, such as squat, lunge, press, row, rotation, or another pattern.

Putting It All Together:

To efficiently find the exercise you're looking for, combine these tips. For instance, if you want a dumbbell exercise targeting shoulders with a pressing motion, search for "DB shoulder press". If you prefer bodyweight exercises for the core in a supine position, search for "BW supine core exercises".
