Building routines

A routine is a saved workout template: a named list of exercises with target sets, reps, weight, and rest. Starting a live workout from a routine pre-loads the whole plan.

Two ways to build one​

Ask your coach. The fastest path: "build me a 3-day push/pull/legs split", "make a 30-minute dumbbell-only routine". The coach creates real routines in your account, and you can refine them conversationally — "swap the barbell rows for cable rows in pull day".

Build by hand. On iPhone or web, create a routine, name it, and add exercises from the catalogue — searchable by name, muscle group, or equipment — setting sets, reps, weight, and rest for each.

Managing routines​

  • Edit any routine — change exercises, prescriptions, or the exercise order.
  • Delete ones you've outgrown.
  • Copy — there's no duplicate button yet, but the coach handles it: "make a copy of my push day called Push B and add overhead press".

Routines vs. history​

A routine is the plan; your workout history is what actually happened. Logging a session from a routine doesn't change the routine — your coach reads both, so it can tell you when your actual lifting has outgrown the plan: just ask "should I update my program?".
