Creating workouts

Where do you create workouts?

• In the library: Here you get an overview of all your workouts, and you can filter and find workouts to reuse in programmes later. This is the recommended place to create workouts.
• On the client: You can also create workouts directly on the client when you edit their programme, but you have less room on the screen.

Workout settings

When you add a new workout, you need to:

• Open the settings and make sure the workout is set to active
• Choose the type: full workout or group (smaller groups of exercises that can be added to workouts later)
• Set the level, format, duration and goal for filtering
• Choose the kind of workout (strength or endurance)

Description

In the description field you can write about:

• The goal of the workout
• Things to keep in mind
• Focus areas, methods and other details

Adding exercises

• Search or filter: Use the list to search or filter by type, muscle, equipment and so on.
• Create new exercises: You can add new exercises directly from the workout. See Creating exercises.
• Use groups: Create predefined groups (e.g. “leg warm-up”) that you can reuse
• Organise: Move exercises up and down, group exercises together and name the groups
