Logging Workouts

Every session you log becomes part of your permanent movement archive. This page covers how to create an entry, what you can include, and how to handle common situations like past-dating a workout or copying a session you do regularly.

Logging a new workout​

Tap the + button (bottom right on mobile) or use the Log Activity option from the Home tab. You can also go to the full entry page at /exercise/new.

Required fields:

  • Type — pick the activity category that fits best (Run, Cardio, Strength, etc.)
  • Date — defaults to today; change it to log past sessions
  • Start time — when the session began
  • Duration — how long you moved, in minutes
  • Difficulty — how hard it felt (Easy, Moderate, Hard, Very Hard)

Optional fields:

  • Distance — miles logged (only available for Run type; pace calculates automatically)
  • Exercises — break the session down into individual movements (see below)
  • Notes — anything you want to remember about the session: how you felt, where you were, what you noticed

None of the optional fields are required. A five-field entry is a valid workout log.

Adding individual exercises​

Inside a workout entry you can build a detailed exercise list. For each exercise, you can set:

  • Name — what the movement is
  • Muscle group — broad category (Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, Legs, Core, Full Body)
  • Specific muscle — more precise target within that group (e.g., Front Delts under Shoulders)
  • Sets & reps — for strength work
  • Weight — in lbs, for strength work
  • Duration — in minutes, for cardio or flexibility movements
  • Notes — per-exercise observations

You don't have to fill in everything — add what's useful and skip what isn't.

Copying a past workout​

If you repeat the same session (same exercises, same structure), tap Copy Workout on any existing activity and pick a new date. The full entry copies over so you just adjust what changed.

Marking a workout complete​

If you have a scheduled (planned) workout that you've now done, you can mark it complete from the Home tab or the upcoming workouts banner. A completion modal lets you add post-activity notes — how it felt, anything notable — before confirming.

Editing a logged workout​

Open any workout from the List tab or History tab and tap Edit. You can update any field: type, duration, difficulty, exercises, notes, or the date. Changes save when you confirm.

Deleting a workout​

Tap the delete option on any activity. You'll be asked to confirm before it's removed.

Incomplete vs. complete entries​

If you log a past session that you didn't fully finish, you can leave it marked incomplete. The completion rate stat in your year-to-date summary accounts for this — it tracks the percentage of your logged workouts that you marked as fully completed.

Tips​

  • Log after every session, even short ones — a 20-minute walk still counts and builds your consistency picture.
  • Use the notes field for context — "felt sluggish, week 3 of a push block" is far more useful when you look back six months later than a bare duration number.
  • Difficulty is subjective on purpose — rate it against how you personally felt that day, not against some absolute standard.
  • You don't need to add exercises for every workout — for cardio or flexibility sessions, duration and type is often enough.
