Exercise

Terra's Exercise section — called Movement in the app — is where you log workouts, track your progress over time, set goals, record personal records, and let AI generate a plan tailored to you.

How it works​

Every workout you do can be logged as an activity. You pick the type, how long you moved, how hard it felt, and optionally break it down into individual exercises. That history builds into charts, stats, and a year-long record of your physical consistency.

You don't have to enter everything by hand — workouts recorded elsewhere can be imported from a connected Strava account or from a Garmin file export, with distance, heart rate, elevation, and mile splits included. See Importing Workouts.

Terra also supports scheduled workouts — planned sessions that appear as upcoming items before you've completed them. Once done, you log the actual activity and it moves into your history.

Connecting to the rest of Terra​

Workouts you log show up alongside your mood entries in daily views, so you can start to see how movement affects how you feel. Your completed activities also feed into the AI chat context — ask about your training load, recovery balance, or anything else.
